ABOUT 30 disappointed youngsters at a North Yorkshire school failed to get their A-level results on time yesterday.
Philip Marr, deputy headteacher of Sherburn School, near Selby, said the pupils had not received results in geography, business studies and general studies from two boards, the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) and Edexcel.
Some students were anxiously waiting to find out if they needed to go through clearing or not.
''It's not nice when you have been very worried and stressed waiting for results and you are told you are going to have to wait at least another three days,'' he said.
Spokesmen for the boards said that as far as they knew, the distribution of results was going according to plan. The school should contact the boards directly to discuss the problem, they added
