GCSE Students Get Results Earlier

More than 900 students across the Island’s 5 Schools will be receiving their GCSE results tomorrow.

The results of these exams will determine if the pupils will continue on to sixth form or the Isle of Man College.

It’s anticipated that as many as nearly half will stay on for sixth form, with the recent number of A-level leavers standing at just under 400.

The results have been released 2 days earlier this year to allow the students more time for them to enrol on courses that start in the Autumn.
