Congratulations to students who have received GCSE results today!

Students across Northampton have been receiving their exam results today

Cllr Fiona Baker, WNC Cabinet member for children, families and education, said: “First of all, I would like to say a big well done to every young person in West Northants who has collected their GCSE exam results.

"I would also like to thank teachers, leaders and schools for their hard work, support and partnership in delivering these excellent results.

"GCSEs are a significant milestone in the lives of children and young people, marking the culmination of many years of hard work, and whatever the result there are lots of options available to achieve a bright future.

"If you did not get the results you hoped for, there are plenty of options to continue your learning or start making the first steps towards working life.

"In the first instance you should approach your teacher or school’s careers advisor, but you can also find resources at the National Careers Service.

"I wish all students every success, as they move on to further education, employment or training.”
