Schools and colleges across the district are celebrating this year's A-level results, which were published yesterday.

Newton Abbot College students were thrilled that they have enjoyed record A level results for a fourth consecutive year.

For the first time in the college's history it celebrated a 100 per cent pass rate, with 75 per cent of all grades at A-C grade.

This represents an increase of more than three quarters in the number of higher grade passes at the college in the past four years.

Principal Gareth Davies commented: 'This is a fantastic set of results for a fantastic group of students.

'Despite being an academically weak cohort, our students have surpassed themselves and given themselves excellent opportunities to progress to further education, training or work.'
