AFTER a hard fought two years, Bromsgrove’s GCSE students arrive at schools across the region to collect their results and find out if all their hard work has paid off.
Pupils will be hoping they’ve got the grades they need to progress onto sixth-form, college or other training and employment.
GCSE results are graded from level 9 to 1 rather than the previous alphabetical grading of A to E.

School leaders are pleased to announced a year of ‘strong results’ with a continued trend of -year-on-year improvements from recent cohorts.

“It’s been pleasing to see so many students reach heights they didn’t think were possible, and this would not have been possible without their resilience and the brilliant support of the teachers, parents and carers.
“We look forward to seeing what they achieve in the future.”
