Sleepless nights, constantly checking computers for university offers, endlessly visualising essay questions - and that was just the parents.

A-Level results were finally released on Thursday, much to the relief of students, and their families, who finished their exams in June, and since then have prefaced any mention of university or post-school plans with the disclaimer: "If I get the grades."

Nationally, a record number of students secured a university place for September, with pass rates rising to 98.1 per cent. This trend was clear to see at Jewish schools across the the country.

JFS in Kenton revealed that 10 students secured their places at either Oxford or Cambridge, while an "overwhelming majority" won places at their first choice universities. Three students are now off to medical school.
