The wait is over for pupils in Nottinghamshire as they receive their results today, Thursday, 21 August.

Councillor Hana John, Cabinet Member for Education and SEND, said: “A huge well done to young people across the county who have just received their GCSE results. 

“Today marks the end of years of hard work and, whatever the outcome, they should be extremely proud.”

Nottinghamshire students have several options available for furthering their skills, such as post-16, college or apprenticeships. The National Careers Service exam results helpline is available by calling 0800 100 900 to help guide and inform these choices. The service highlights an array of education and training opportunities available to young people, including traineeships, T Levels and Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs).

Exams and results days can significantly impact young people’s mental health.
