Nando’s isone of many restaurants giving away free chicken to help students celebrate their A-Level results today.

Thousands of students are celebrating a record-breaking year after the proportion of A-level entries awarded an A grade or higher has risen to an all-time high after exams were cancelled for the second year in a row due to Covid-19.

In total, more than two in five (44.8%) of UK entries were awarded an A or A* grade this summer – up by 6.3 percentage points on last year when 38.5% achieved the top grades.

Hundreds of thousands of students have been given grades determined by teachers, rather than exams, with pupils only assessed on what they have been taught during the pandemic.

To help students celebrate, Nando’s is giving away free chicken to help students celebrate.

Nando’s is back with its annual Results Day Promotion, providing unwavering support and a judgement-free offering in the form of free PERi-PERi for students picking up their grades – no matter the result!

Whether you're adding spice to your celebration or commiserating with chicken, Nando’s will be giving away a free starter or ¼ chicken to all GCSE students picking up their grades, as well as A-Level, Scottish Highers & National 5’s students on the 10th or 12th August.

And this year, there’s an extra twist in store for last year’s students who missed out.

Last year was a tough year all-round and due to Covid-closures Nando’s was not able to give students their well-deserved snack. In a spicy turn-of-events this year, determined for no one to miss out (even if it’s a year postponed), Nando’s is opening the offer to 2020 results students.
