Thousands of pupils across Buckinghamshire have received their exam results today (15 August). Young people will be picking up A-level results as well as other qualifications including BTECs and NVQs.
Councillors Anita Cranmer, Cabinet Member for Education and Children’s Services and Joseph Baum, Deputy Cabinet Member for Skills said: “We wish students across the county the best of luck with their results today. We know they have been working hard in their studies and will be looking forward to the next stage of their lives.”
Anita and Joseph added: “It is important to recognise that there may be some young people who may be disappointed with their results or are not sure what to do next. We would encourage them to speak to their school and also take a look at some of the support and advice that is available.”
