GCSE Results Day
Today is the day some of you will have been waiting excitedly for and for others dreading. This years GCSE results day will be a day unlike many before. COVID-19 made education difficult for young people around the country. For some of you it may have helped and for others made education difficult and may have had an impact on your overall learning.
If you don’t get the results you were expecting or hoping for (or you did as badly as you feared – though we hope that’s not the case), just REMEMBER the important rule: “Don’t Panic!”. It’s not the end of the world. There are always other ways to get where you want to go and people who can offer you help and advice. All you need to do is contact them.
Support is available through your school or college and don’t be afraid to ask them for some advice of support.
For local face to face and telephone careers support contact Career Connect - 58 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, Wirral. Tel: 0151 556 2620
