Results Day
Every year, students across the country receive their results from GCSE’s, A-Level’s, AS-Level’s, Vocational Qualifications and T-level’s.
The first cohort of T-Level students will receive their results in 2022. Read more about the achievements, and challenges, of T Levels here.
In 2020, the pandemic hit. Students were forced to learn from home with lessons moving online. This also meant that exams were cancelled and teacher assessed grades were used.
In 2021, we moved to slightly more normality. Teacher assessed grades were also used, but with most students being back in the classroom, they could give students assessments to help them to determine their grades.
Now in 2022, all restrictions have been removed and the whole country is returning to normality. This means that exams were back to almost normality. Students sitting exams in 2022 have still faced massive disruptions to their education due to the pandemic.
