GCSE results day is here!
The wait is finally over for thousands of 16-year-olds in Cumbria who today receive their GCSE examination results.
This year’s candidates are the first to sit exams since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Naturally, today will be marked by contrasting emotions, with some young people celebrating and others not getting the results they were hoping for. Whatever the result, all students should be congratulated for their exceptional efforts in what has been a unique and challenging few years.
Councillor Sue Sanderson, Cumbria County Council's Cabinet Member for Schools and Learning, said:
“My congratulations go to all students in Cumbria who have received examination results today.
“Results day is always a day of excitement, high emotions and mixed feelings depending upon individual results. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate our young people on all their hard work, after which you can now focus on the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.
“I also want to say thank you to all the headteachers, teachers, parents and carers for their support to our young people over the last few months.”
If you're unhappy with your GCSE grade, you should first talk to your school or college. If you still think you've been unfairly graded after a review, you can ask your school or college to appeal.
If you’re unsure about what to do next, parents, carers or pupils can contact the National Careers Service Exam Results Helpline on 0800 100 900 from 8am to 8pm Monday-Friday and 10am to 5pm on Saturdays and bank holidays (Closed on Sundays, Christmas Day and New Year's Day).
