Across the city, those who sat the exams this year will be receiving their results and Sheffield City Council would like to wish them all the best of luck in achieving what they hoped for.
GCSE results day is today – and good luck to everyone opening their envelopes
Students across the city will be receiving their GCSE results today (Thursday 22nd August).
As with A-Level results day last week, Sheffield City Council is wishing everyone good luck who will be getting their results - and offering praise to our students and their schools for their achievements and hard work.
Cllr Toby Mallinson, Deputy Chair of the Education, Children, and Families Policy Committee, said:
“There will be a lot of nervous excitement felt by many attending their school today alongside their friends and loved ones to get their GCSE results.
“I’d like to praise all of you on the hard work that I know you’ve put in to this and hoping people get the good news they have been hoping for.”
As with A-Level results day, there will be those opening up their exam results today and not seeing the grades they had hoped for.
If this is the case, there are options available for you moving forward.
School pastoral teams and academic leads are there to guide and support, helping you to assess what options will help you, whether that’s possibly re-sitting an exam, an appeal against a grade you’ve been given or choosing to follow an alternative programme of study.
Cllr Mallinson added:
“Learning – as with life itself – doesn’t always take the path we had hoped and planned for. But if today doesn’t quite brought the results you had wanted then do not lose heart. There are plenty of options for following your hopes and aspirations.”
The city-wide results showing the grades that students achieved will be available in the autumn (2024).
Help and support available for next steps:
For those either at school or in other learning environments who need support on what’s next for them - whether that is employment, education or training - the Council’s Community Youth Services helpline for 16-to-18 years old can help.
The team assists with writing CVs and other information, advice and guidance on careers and help with job seeking, apprenticeships, employment or training applications, as well as interview coaching.
