Teenagers across south Bucks face a nail-biting wait this week as they prepare to find out their A-Level results and if they secured a place at university. 

As the big day looms we had a look through the archives for results day photos taken at schools across the county over the last five years.

Pictures show pupils from schools including John Hampden Grammar School, Royal Grammar School, Great Marlow and Beaconsfield School celebrating results day from the years 2011 to 2016. 

Last year John Hampden, Great Marlow and Bourne End Academy celebrated record-breaking results, while boys closed the gap on girls nationally.

The number of top grades also increased across the nation – so how have pupils performed this year?

Live updates on how sixth-formers faired in the summer exams and a gallery of pictures will be posted on the Bucks Free Press website as the results come in on Thursday.
