Sutton Council is congratulating pupils and staff in schools across the borough as they celebrate this year’s outstanding A-Level results.

Sutton schools have again maintained and improved their high performance in the examinations, with results consistently above the UK average.  The proportion of students across the borough achieving the highest A-Level A* and B grades is 65.1%. The percentage of students achieving an A-Level pass grade (A* to E) has increased to 99.7% from 98.5% last year. This is above the UK average as, across all UK students, the proportion achieving A* to E is 98.1%.

Cllr Wendy Mathys, Chair of the Children, Family and Education Committee at Sutton Council, said:

“I am delighted that once again the results achieved by young people in Sutton are amongst the best in the country. This is the result of the wonderful support that they have had from their parents and carers and from the excellent schools that we have in Sutton, but most of all it is a tribute to the hard work and ability of the students themselves. I heartily congratulate them.”
