Advice for West Sussex students receiving A-level results

 

Release date: 13 August 2026

Students across West Sussex are receiving their A-level, AS, T Level and vocational qualification results today.

Councillor Sam Raby, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Learning, said:

“Congratulations to every young person receiving their results today. Reaching this point takes commitment, resilience and a great deal of hard work, and I hope students take time to recognise everything they have achieved.

“I would also like to thank the teachers, school and college staff, parents and carers who have supported young people throughout their studies.

“Results day can bring a mixture of emotions and sometimes plans may change, but no one has to work out their next step alone. Whether you are heading to university, considering an apprenticeship, training or employment, or taking some time to explore your options, advice and support are available.”

A breakdown of grades by region can be found on the Ofqual website.

Careers advice and support

Students who have questions about their results or available courses should speak to their school or college, which can provide advice about their options and next steps.

The West Sussex County Council Careers Team can also provide free information, advice and guidance to eligible young people aged 16 to 24 who live in West Sussex and are not in education, employment or training.

The team can help young people explore opportunities including education, apprenticeships, employment, further training and volunteering.
