Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, responding to the publication of A-Level results today, said:

“Congratulations to everyone around the country receiving their A-Level results today and thank you to the parents, teachers and school leaders who work hard to support young people through their education.

“They have managed this in the face of Tory cuts and large scale changes to exams that have made this process an even greater challenge.  

“It is only with the support of the whole school community that young people can realise their full potential. They should be rightfully proud of what they have achieved together.”
