On GCSE results day, Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People’s Services, Cllr Adam Wilkinson, said:
“Congratulations to everyone receiving their GCSE results today. Collecting these exam results is a real milestone moment and the culmination of an awful lot of hard work.
“I’m so proud of every student who’s given their all to achieve their very best. I hope lots of our young people will be celebrating and enjoying the remainder of the school holidays before starting the exciting next stage of their studies or beginning vocational courses.
“For those who maybe didn’t get the results they were wanting, it’s important to remember not to panic. There are lots of options available if things haven’t gone to plan, including resits if necessary or rethinking your next steps. Your school can offer you support and advice, or there’s lots of information online, at https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/advice/gcse-choices-university/gcse-results-day-what-to-expect(external link)
“Whatever the next steps, I hope the future is very bright for our young people and wish them all the very best.”
