Students at sixth forms and colleges in Luton were celebrating another year of bumper success as A Level results were issued this morning.
Teens at Cardinal Newman RC School sixth form and Luton Sixth Form College whooped and cried with joy as they nervously opened their results envelopes.
For the first time students at Barnfield West and South Academies also celebrated a successful bunch of AS Level grades.
