Hundreds of pupils across South Lakeland, Eden and Furness will today receive their A-level results.

We will be posting results from all the local schools - including those in Kendal, Ulverston, Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, Milnthorpe and Troutbeck Bridge - as we get them this morning.

There will also be comments from schools about how well they have performed.

Keep coming to our home page to check all the latest news and stories from A-level results day.

* The Exam Results Helpline is preparing to open today - and will remain open until Monday, August 24 - the longest the helpline has been open in its 26-year history.

The Department for Education-funded helpline will be ready to assist thousands of students who have received unexpected exam results and want to discuss their options.

More than 40 expert careers advisers will be on the dedicated phone number – 0808 100 8000 - and on the Facebook and Twitter pages from 8am today.
