A-level results day: Ashlyns students celebrate 'outstanding' success in Berkhamsted
Results are being released earlier in the month than usual, and like last year will not be based on exams due to Covid
Ashlyns students were celebrating some outstanding achievements once again today (Tuesday), with the overwhelming majority of students moving on to their chosen degree courses and
universities.
Grades have been determined by teachers after summer exams were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Headteacher James Shapland watched the celebrations at Ashlyns School, in Berkhamsted.
He said: "We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted 18 months.
"These young people leave us as adults embarking upon the next exciting stage of their personal journeys in life, having adapted and risen admirably to the challenges posed by the
pandemic.
"They should know that their outstanding results truly reflect their hard work, stoicism, resilience and determination - attributes that will serve them well in the future.
"Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure students are able to progress onto their next steps in education and /or employment and I would like to thank our whole school community for the way in which they ensured that learning and success could continue to be recognised in 2021.
"We wish all our students the very best for the future."
