GCSE Results

 

Poole pupils will be busy planning their futures following the publication of GCSE results across the country today.

 

Councillor Tony Woodcock, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Learning, Borough of Poole, said: "A lot of hard work and effort will have gone into these exams by young people across the Borough and I congratulate all those receiving their results today.  Students in Poole schools are very successful in their GCSEs and once again I am confident that these students have done themselves, their schools and Poole proud. 

 

He added: "Now that the results have been published, students can begin to decide on their choices of future education, training or employment. Teachers, parents and the LEA have all helped to support our young people and ensure they get the best start in life and will continue to help them use their achievements today as a foundation to build from in their futures."

 

Jane Portman, Chief Adviser for School Advice & Support, Borough of Poole, said: "The teaching and support network of schools in Poole works well to guide students to achieve their personal best at GCSE.  GCSEs 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."

 

For those who are unsure about their next steps, support and advice is available from the Connexions link will open in new window Service on 01202 677557.
