Thousands of students are due to find out what grades they have achieved at schools and colleges across the city on Thursday (18 August, 2016).
Councillor Claire Darke, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education, said: "I'd like to wish everyone collecting their A Level results this week the very best of luck.
"I hope they achieve the outcomes they were hoping for and are looking forward to their next move, whether that is going on to university or entering the world of work.
"Post 16 results in Wolverhampton have improved year on year for the last 7 years, with performance by local students consistently in the top 12 nationally. Last year saw record outcomes, and we're hoping to make it 8 straight years of improvement with another bumper set of results this week.
"That would be a fantastic achievement and credit to the hard work of students and their teachers."
She continued: "If you don't get the grades you expected - either because they are better than you hoped, or not quite as good - there will still be opportunities for you to secure alternative placements, not least through the Clearing process.
"Careers advisors from Connexions Wolverhampton will also be on hand to help you assess what options are available to you."
