The wait is finally over for thousands of nervous teenagers across Camden, Barnet, Haringey and Westminster who pick up their A-level results today (Thursday).

The fight to secure places at universities will be tougher this year after UCAS reported a 4 per cent increase in applications compared with last year.

This year also sees a record 35 per cent of English 18-year-olds apply to university and college.

The Ham&High Series websites will keep anxious school-leavers and proud parents up-to-date with results statistics, analysis and reaction on our liveblog.
