For thousands across the county it is only one sleep until A Level results day. 

After two hard years of studying in the years after COVID 19, time as a student at Sixth Form or College comes to an end for Suffolk students.

To mark the day we have dipped back into the archives to look back at celebrations from years gone by.

These include students from Thomas Mills High School celebrating their results in 2012. Last year the school achieved a 98% pass rate, with 51% of students achieving grades between A*-B and 75% achieving A*-C.

Students who do not get the results they were hoping for can still apply to university courses through clearing.

Clearing is open from July 5 until October 19.
