Students from schools and colleges across Rotherham are celebrating their achievements in the A Level results published today, Thursday 14 August.
Early analysis of available data shows that local A level students have achieved a pass rate of 97.6% (grades A* to E).
Around 2,437 local students have received their A level results and 4,037 students have got results for A level or A level equivalent qualifications.
Councillor Victoria Cusworth, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children and Young People at Rotherham Council, said: “First of all, I would like to congratulate our students on their success, with many young people across Rotherham achieving positive A Level, T Level, and BTEC National results.
“Through their hard work, our young learners have equipped themselves with the tools they need to build successful careers and fulfilling lives. Regardless of individual results, every young person, teacher, parent, and post-16 provider, whether a college or sixth form, should feel extremely proud of what they have achieved.
“I would like to wish all pupils the very best in the next stage of their lives and careers whatever that looks like. Whether they’re taking their first steps into the world of work, beginning an apprenticeship, or moving into higher education.”
Nationally the number of students achieving A*- E Grades (Pass rate) has not yet been released but Ofqual expects national results in 2025 to be broadly similar to those seen in 2024, bringing grades back in line with 2019 levels.
Nationally (England) the number of students achieving A*- C has been reported on the Schools Week website as being 77.7%, up from 76.0% last year and 75.5% in 2019. Rotherham’s A*- C achievements stand at 73.1% which is an increase of 2.5% from last year.
The number of students achieving A* to A grades in Rotherham is 19.1%. This is an increase of 0.1% on last year.
Additional support, advice and guidance is available to young people still considering their future options on the Rotherham Council website.
