From Herefordshire Council:
Young people across Herefordshire are celebrating today after receiving their results for A levels, AS levels and T Levels and a range of Level 3 vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs).
With an impressive 98.4% A level pass rate, above both the national average in the West Midlands and England, the results reflect the dedication and talent of Herefordshire’s students.
Councillor Ivan Powell, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, praised the achievements:
“Huge congratulations to all students on their efforts and grades in their A levels and all of the other national exam results released today.
“A special thanks goes to Herefordshire’s teachers, the support staff and all who work in our schools and colleges for your dedication to making sure students progress onto further education, training or employment.
“We wish our young people well in the next stage of life, whether in work or continuing in education. Opportunities are expanding for young people in our county, and I hope many of them will stay with us in Herefordshire.”
GCSE results will be released to pupils on Thursday 21 August 2025.
