Students Throughout The UK Receive Their A Level Results

BRISTOL, ENGLAND - AUGUST 14: Ellie Wood, who got two grade A's and a A* and is taking a place at Cambridge poses for a photograph as she opens her A-level results at Yate International Academy on August 14, 2014 in Bristol, England. Across England and Wales students were receiving their A-level results this morning and for the first time in over 30 years there has been a slight fall in the pass rate. However, there is now a record number of university places available and some students may still get their places even if they did not get the grades. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
