A GROUP of A-level students reveal why they turned up in suits to pick up their A-level results. 

The group of friends wowed their teachers at Worcester Sixth Form College on Spetchley Road with their smart attire on Thursday (August 18). 

Ben Andrews and his friends said they wanted to dress up because results day is a special occasion. 

Ben Andrews, 18, said: "We thought we would look smart for the occasion."

"Thanks to Wes Davies - our P.E teacher. 

"He's the best P.E teacher in the world. 

"I would not have got my grade if it wasn't for him."

After picking up their results, the cohort could be spotted in the canteen by the balloons that read 'congratulations' and posed for several photos while popping confetti canisters.
