West Sussex County Council confirmed the county-wide results showed a slight increase on last year’s pass rates when it came to those who took the full two-year A2 exam – the number of students earning A* to E grades rising.
But the proportion of high achievers who took home passes at A* to B was slightly down on 2014.
When it came to the one-year AS-level courses, the passes at grades A to B and A to E were up.
