Early indications suggest average Level 3 results in the Westmorland and Furness area have increased compared to 2023. The rise is pleasing as grade boundaries have been reported as reverting back to pre-pandemic levels.
A-Level and equivalent Level 3 results are currently subject to change and the Local Authority, Westmorland and Furness Council, is unlikely to have a complete picture of the results until the end of September 2023 to compare against the national outcome.
Early indications however, suggest average points for three A-Levels this year was 34.1, compared to 32.48 in 2023. This is an increase of 1.53 points.
Milorad Vasic, Director of Children’s Services at Westmorland and Furness Council added:
“I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all students on their hard work. I am immensely proud of everyone’s efforts. Whatever your results, it is now time for you to focus on the future and the opportunities which lie ahead.”
Cllr Sue Sanderson, Westmorland and Furness Council’s Cabinet Member for Children's Services, Education and Skills, added:
“Today is a day to acknowledge the great work of students, as well as all the excellent work by Head Teachers, Teachers, schools, colleges and parents. It’s also a chance for students to look ahead and focus on the opportunities ahead of them – be that Further Education, Higher Education, employment, or further training. All students are to be congratulated for their efforts over recent months and I wish them all the best of luck for the future.”
