Shropshire students congratulated on GCSE results success

GCSE results are published today (Thursday 20 August 2015) and early indications show that 2015 is likely to be another successful year for Shropshire’s schools and academies.

Councillor Ann Hartley, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children’s services, said:

“We would like to warmly congratulate pupils on their success. We would also like to thank all those who are part of our school communities and who have provided much needed support and direction for the pupils, including all teaching staff and headteachers, parents and carers.

“The pupils’ achievements are testament to how diligently they have prepared for their examinations and the hard work that they put into their studies.

“This is such an important time for young people as they progress from school to continued education at school or college, an apprenticeship or traineeship, or part-time education or training. We wish all of Shropshire’s pupils every success in the future.”
