Schools have let students know how to collect their results. In most cases they will be able to go to their school to collect them in person, while teachers will be on hand to provide advice and support if necessary.
“Having different options available to all young people as students reach the end of this phase of their education career is incredibly important...”
Kent County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, Rory Love, said: “I am thinking of all young people who will be finding out their GCSE exam results today.
“A tremendous amount of hard work goes into these two years, both from the students and from Kent's schools, which are consistently rated above the national average. I am sure the students will go on to do great things.
“Having different options available to all young people as students reach the end of this phase of their education career is incredibly important, and we are working with the post-16 sector to make a difference in this area through our Pathways for All programme.”
KCC’s Director of Education and SEN, Christine McInnes, said: “The success of our young people is only possible due to the dedication of our school leaders and their teaching and support staff.
“The biggest well done today must of course go to all those pupils who are receiving their GCSE exam results today, I hope your hard work is reflected in the results.
“There are a range of options open as you transition into post-16 and for those of you who are having to rethink your next steps, please make use of the support available.”
Young people with special educational needs and disabilities who are making decisions about their next steps can find a wealth of useful information and advice on our SEND Information Hub.
If students do not achieve the results they were hoping for, there is plenty of help and support available to help them get to find the right path for them. Students can speak to their schools as staff will be able to discuss the various options available to them.
They can also find local information from The Education People on the Kent Choices website or alternatively they can visit the Exam Results Helpline website (or call them on 0800 100 900) run by the National Careers Service.
