Surrey students praised for A-level success

Deputy Leader Peter Martin

Following the release of A-level results, Peter Martin, Surrey County Council’s Deputy Leader, said: ‘I would like to congratulate pupils on their achievements and thank our dedicated teachers for all the help and guidance they have provided. I wish young people who have received results the very best in their future studies and careers.

‘Surrey has some of the best state schools in the country, staffed by committed teachers who work hard to unlock their pupils’ full potential and for our part, we’re determined to continue raising education standards amid growing demand for school places – we need to create 13,000 more places in the next five years but face a funding shortfall of more than £30million in each of the next two years alone.’
