More than 1,200 students set to receive grades

More than 1,000 students will receive their A-level and GCSE results next week.

That's despite the cancellation of all exams due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

A-Level students will get their grades on August 10, along with those studying Level 3 BTEC.

Whereas, GCSE results will be given two days later on 12 August.

It is the second consecutive year exam boards have cancelled exams due to the pandemic, and a range of extra support will be available for pupils on and after official result days.
