800 students to recieve GCSE results today

Thu, 25 Aug 2022

More than 800 students will collect their GCSE results from secondary schools across the Island this morning.

It is the first time grades have been based on end-of-year exams since 2019 – after which they were cancelled and replaced with teacher assessments due to the pandemic.

Early destination data gathered by the Department of Education, Sport and Culture (DESC) shows around 85% of students who completed Year 11 are expected to move into further education in September.

Childline's encouraging anyone who's feeling anxious to speak out.

Paul Johnson who's from there has this advice for parents.
