Queen Elizabeth, Kirkby Lonsdale: A-Level results

Pupils arrived at the Kirkby Lonsdale school to open their envelope and find out if they had made the grade.

Director of the sixth form Cathy O’Neill said higher university tuition fees, coming into effect next year, had left students feeling under greater pressure than normal to get good marks.

“Several students have opted not to take gap years. Many pupils have been feeling the pressure from the media and the outside world to do extra well to get a place this year.”

Jason Roper, of Lancaster, arrived at the school in tears, this morning, after a low grade left him worried he had missed a place at his preferred university.

The 18-year-old achieved an A and B in Physical Education and Information and Communications Technology.

However, a U in Business Studies left him frightened he would not be offered his place to study Sports Management, this September, at Northumbria University.

He said: “I needed a D and when I saw my marks I thought they would drop me. "I couldn’t get through to UCAS online or on the phone and I was terrified.

“My mum kept ringing me to find out how I had done but I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone, I had to get my granddad to come with me to school.

“When I got in we kept ringing and I finally found out I’d been accepted despite missing one of my grades. I’m really relieved - I’ll be celebrating tonight.”

His friend, Leo Mercer, of Endmoor, opened his results without worry fear after being accepted on a paid apprenticeship to work as a mechanical engineer at Thomas Hardy, in Kendal.

The 18-year-old found out he had achieved three Cs in Maths, Physics and History, and said he was very happy with the future he had ahead of him.

“I start my apprenticeship on Monday and I think it’s the right option for me. Instead of coming out of uni with a debt, I’ll have been paid all the way through my training.”

Meanwhile, Lewis Williams, 18, of Preston, got an A, C and a D, in Music Technology, Media Studies and Business Studies and is headed for Glamorgan University, this September, to study Radio Production.

“I’m really chuffed. I wanted to be involved with music and as a musician I think this is a sensible way to keep involved with the industry.”
