Hundreds of thousands of teenagers received their A-level results across the country amid major exam reforms.

The number of students who secured top A-level grades at A-level dropped to its lowest point in 12 years.

Grades were awarded in the first 13 reformed A-level subjects in England in 2017, with a further 12 reformed subjects last summer. Students received grades in a further 19 subjects on Thursday.

The new A-levels have less coursework and exams at the end of two years - and AS levels no longer count towards the A-level grade as part of the reforms.

Girls outperformed boys at the top grades this year despite predictions that the linear structure of the new qualifications would favour boys.
