GCSE results day is a significant milestone for young people, and we know it can bring a mix of emotions. Whether students are celebrating or considering their next steps, we want to acknowledge the hard work they’ve put in and the support provided by teachers, families and carers. Schools across Central Bedfordshire have worked incredibly hard to guide and support students through their studies, and their dedication deserves recognition. There are many pathways available, and I encourage students to seek advice and make informed choices about their future. I wish them luck with their next steps.
