HARLOW A-level student, Charlotte Brough is going to Cambridge University to study History and Russian.

However, the Harlow College student was among tens of thousands of students caught up in the A-level fiasco over the past few days.

On Thursday, Charlotte was awarded an A*, A, B which would not have been “good enough” for Cambridge. Charlotte was considering an offer from Edinburgh University.

But on Monday afternoon, the government took a u-turn and students such as Charlotte were awarded what their teacher’s had assessed them. Charlotte was subsequently awarded an A*, A*, A.

YH went to interview Charlotte to congratulate her on her success and reflect on the last few days.
