Nearly 11,000 Leicestershire pupils are being wished the best of luck and offered guidance ahead of national ‘exam results’ days.
Around 3,000 county pupils are set to find out their A / AS Level , T Level and vocational technical qualifications (VTQ) grades, alongside a majority of BTEC results, tomorrow (Thursday 14 August) and nearly 8,000 pupils will find out their GCSE grades next Thursday (21 August).
If you’re due to find out your exam results this summer, we’re thinking of you.
Waiting to find out your grades can be an exciting and anxious time. We know a lot of work and dedication has gone into preparing for these days and we hope you achieve the outcomes you were hoping for.
But if you don’t get the grades you hoped for, please remember that support, guidance and options are available to you.
Person:Councillor Charles Pugsley, cabinet member for children and families
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.
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 25 for people with special educational needs, to help them get into education, employment and training.
Any young people worried or in need of mental wellbeing support can visit the Start a Conversation website and the Teen Health 11-19 service.
