Thanks for following today's live feed of A-level results. Quite a day and plenty of success stories - just as we like it.

We will have a round-up in our papers next week before next Thursday when attention turns to GCSE results. Even more schools to contend with then so should be a busy one!

In the meantime, congratulations to all those who got their A-level results today. Enjoy your well-earned celebrations!

And that's your lot. Quite a busy few hours that's for sure!

Before we go, here is a round up of the main headlines.

• Backwell School saw its pass rate increase to 99 per cent, with three students achieving a place to study at the University of Oxford.

• Over in Cheddar, Kings of Wessex students fared well with almost 50 per cent of papers graded as B or better.
• In Nailsea, staff were 'extremely proud' of students good grades. About a quarter of exam scripts were graded A* or A this year.
• 'Remarkable' was the term used to describe the success of A-level students at St Katherine's School today. The school, in Pill, saw the proportion of top grades increase too.
• At Weston College, a near-perfect pass rate was achieved.
• Clevedon School headteacher Jim Smith was 'delighted' by the 'fantastic grades' his students had mustered. A pass rate of 97 per cent was achieved.

• Churchill Academy and Sixth Form's A-level results were described as 'superb'. Some pupils were 'in shock' having done better than they thought was possible.
• About 75 per cent of grades achieved at Portishead's Gordano School were a C or better this year. A slight drop on last year, but a fantastic achievement nevertheless.
• At King Alfred School, in Highbridge, more top grades were achieved than last year.

Students at Weston College popped into town to pick up their envelopes this morning.

A strong pass rate was again achieved by the college, with dozens of students winning a place at university.

The proportion of A*-C grades dropped, ever so slightly, this year but still three-quarters of exam papers met the mark.

Pupils in Portishead  did eclipse last year's pass rate, with just one per cent of scripts getting a U grade.

'Superb' was how the students' successes today were described by staff. 

A high proportion of top grades were achieved at Churchill Academy and a large percentage of pupils have won a place at university. Well done to all!

More A*-A grades and more A*-C grades than last year. Can't say fairer than that!

Congratulations to all the pupils in Highbridge.

The 'tenacity' of A-level students in Nailsea have been praised by headteacher Dee Elliott.

The proportion of A*-C grades this year at Nailsea School was the same as in 2018: 82 per cent. Consistency is key.

Approximately one-third of grades were A* or A in Pill this year - a fantastic achievement.

Students' 'hard work and dedication' were praised by staff.

A sobering thought but today's A-level students were about three years old when the Friends finale aired. The phrase 'we were on a break' probably means nothing to them.
