A-levels: Record number going to university despite fall in top grades
The number of top A-level grades has fallen for the fourth year in a row - but record numbers of students have been accepted on university courses.
A-level students urged not to worry over results
Students who didn't get the results they wanted when they opened their A-levels today have been told not to worry and to consider their next move carefully.
Annie Dobson, from Ucas, advised students to contact their chosen universities as they may have accepted them anyway even if they have not got the exact grades.
Universities could offer a record number of places after the Government lifted the cap on the amount of students that institutions in England can accept.
