Walsall Council congratulates A-level and Post-16 students for results

Provisional results show that Walsall’s young people achieved A* in 6% of their A-Level and A-Level equivalent qualifications, and an A or A* in 22.1% of qualifications.

Overall, our young people achieved a passing grade of A*-E in 97.1% of A-Level and A-Level equivalent qualifications.

“ Congratulations to Walsall’s young people that today received their A-Level and post-16 qualification results. You should be very proud of the hard work you have put in and what you have achieved. Students in the borough have made good progress at this level.

Even if you haven’t quite got the results you expected, there are still lots of options available; school and college staff and supporting organisations are on hand to talk you through your options as you embark on the next chapter in life.
Good luck to all students who will be collecting their GCSE results next week. “

Councillor Mark Statham, Portfolio Holder for Education and Skills
Walsall Council

If a student does not receive the results they were expecting or need then they should, in the first instance, speak to their school or college about the options open to them, including appealing their grades. Walsall Council is supporting schools and academies with this offer.

There are lots of options available for young people – whether their exam results are as they expected, better or not quite as good as they hoped they would be. These include continuing with post-16 education, starting an apprenticeship or entering the world of work.

If you are a young person with questions about education, training or employment you can contact the Walsall Council Employment and Skills Team on 01922 654352 or Email: walsallworks@walsall.gov.uk. The team can provide customised one to one and training for young people in Walsall aged 16 and over who are not in employment, education or training to help them overcome the barriers that may be stopping them from finding and securing training, education or a job.

Walsall Works is a council programme designed to support local people with finding jobs, apprenticeships and training. You can access support from their employment and skills team by emailing walsallworks@walsall.gov.uk or calling 01922 654352 or browsing our website www.walsallworks.com

The National Careers Service Exam Results Helpline is also available on 0800 100 900 or nationalcareers.service.gov.uk

Year 11 students prepare to receive their GCSE results, next week on Thursday 24 August. -ENDS-
