Students celebrate GCSE results
Students across Telford and Wrekin have been celebrating after receiving their GCSE results today.
This is the first year that GCSE results will be the first set to be published under the government’s new system which means it is not possible to compare them with last year’s results as a different performance measure is being used.
At Hadley Learning Community, which was last year judged to be in the top 40 schools in the country, improvement has continued to be made with more young people achieving the top grades. A similarly positive picture is recorded at several other schools - in particular Ercall Wood, Burton Borough and Telford Langley.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds , cabinet member for Education and Skills, said: “I would like to congratulate all the students on their achievements and thank everyone connected with the schools for their hard work.”
