🤞Good luck if you are receiving your GCSE and Key Stage 4 results today!

😊🏫More than 4,000 year 11 pupils attending BCP’s secondary schools are discovering the outcome of their studies and planning their next steps, whether that’s continuing in education, starting an apprenticeship or embarking on a training programme.

🙋‍♀️While many pupils have plans in place, others may still be exploring their options. The first port of call for young people should always be their school. Heads of year, tutors and careers advisers are there to help and have access to pupil records and exam results.

BCP Council wishes all pupils the very best as they embark on the next chapter of their journeys. 🩷
