‘Good luck’ as next chapter beckons for Leicestershire students

Thousands of Leicestershire pupils will be picking up exam results

Secondary school children

Good luck messages are being shared with Leicestershire pupils ahead of two of the biggest dates in the academic calendar.

Students are set to find out their A / AS Level , T Level and other vocational technical qualifications (VTQ) grades tomorrow (Thursday 13 August), while others will find out their GCSE grades next Thursday (20 August).

 To everyone collecting exam results; we know it can be both exciting and nerve-wracking as you find out the outcome of all your hard work and commitment.

I hope you receive the results you’re hoping for and can celebrate your achievements.

Whatever your outcome, remember that exam results are only one step in your journey. While they may help shape your next steps, they do not define your potential.

Be proud of the effort you've put in and remember there are many paths to success.

Guidance and support for pupils receiving their results should be available from their school or college where staff will be able to advise on the options available.

Young people living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland worried about their exam results can receive anonymous digital support from peers via the NHS commissioned Tellmi app

Anyone who wishes to appeal or query a grade award should contact their local school or college directly. If pupils feel a grade has been awarded in error after a review has been carried out, they need to submit an appeal to the exam board. More information on appeals can be found on the government website.

The county council offers support to young people in Leicestershire aged 16-19 through signposting to available services, and individual support up to age 25 for people with special educational needs, to help them get into education, employment and training. 

Careers guidance is available from schools or the National Careers Service and for those planning to go to university, information on results day and clearing is available from UCAS.
