Thurrock students are celebrating as they receive their A Level results today, Thursday 18 August.
Cllr Barry Johnson, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: "As we move further forward following the coronavirus pandemic, it’s impact is still being felt by many young people through the education system. Reflecting this uneven impact, and in partnership with partnering local authorities in other areas of the country, we will not be making a statement about the specific results today.
"This morning I visited Harris Academy Chafford Hundred and USP College with Mayor of Thurrock, Cllr James Halden. We met a number of young people receiving their A Level results and it was wonderful to speak with students reflecting on their time in school and talking about their aspirations and next steps.
"I would encourage you to focus on the individual young people and their successes today. These results are for them and I would like to congratulate students for their resilience, determination and the results that they have worked so hard to achieve."
