‘Good luck’ as next chapter beckons for Leicestershire students

Thousands of Leicestershire pupils will be picking up exam results

Good luck messages are being shared with Leicestershire pupils ahead of two of the biggest dates in the academic calendar.

Students are set to find out their A / AS Level , T Level and other vocational technical qualifications (VTQ) grades tomorrow (Thursday 13 August), while others will find out their GCSE grades next Thursday (20 August).

Cllr Charles Pugsley, lead member for children and families said:

Guidance and support for pupils receiving their results should be available from their school or college where staff will be able to advise on the options available.

Young people living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland worried about their exam results can receive anonymous digital support from peers via the NHS commissioned Tellmi app.

Anyone who wishes to appeal or query a grade award should contact their local school or college directly. If pupils feel a grade has been awarded in error after a review has been carried out, they need to submit an appeal to the exam board. More information on appeals can be found on the government website.

The county council offers support to young people in Leicestershire aged 16-19 through signposting to available services, and individual support up to age 25 for people with special educational needs, to help them get into education, employment and training. 

Careers guidance is available from schools or the National Careers Service

and for those planning to go to university, information on results day and clearing is available from UCAS.
