Poole pupils will be busy planning their future following the publication of GCSE results across the country on August 22.

Cllr Mrs Sandra Moore, Chairman of the Learning Policy Advisory Group, said: "I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the students in Poole who are receiving their results today. Teachers, parents and pupils work hard in order to achieve high results in their GCSEs and their efforts are visibly worthwhile as a strong foundation for their future."

She added: "Students in Poole schools are very successful in their GCSEs and I am confident that these students have done themselves, their schools and Poole proud. Now that the results have been published the students can begin to decide on their choices of future education, training or employment."

Maureen Champness, Senior Adviser in the Borough, said: "The teaching and support network of schools in Poole works well to guide students to achieving their personal best at GCSE. Traditionally, Poole students do very well at GCSE, last year we were ranked fifth Local Education Authority in the country and I am sure we will see such success again this year." She added: "They are one good measure of a school's success but we must also remember that there are high achievements taking place across other areas of school life. The pupils now need to consider their future plans carefully to build on the successes of today."
