Praise for Shropshire pupils as GCSE results published

This year’s GCSE results are published today (Thursday 25 August 2016) and early indications show that 2016 will be another successful year for Shropshire’s schools and academies.

David Minnery, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children and young people,  said:

“I would like to heartily congratulate pupils on their results this year. I would also like to extend our thanks to all in our school communities, including all teaching staff, headteachers, parents and carers who have provided much needed support, guidance and direction for the pupils.

“The pupils’ achievements are a reflection of their commitment and preparation for the 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 or further training and employment. We wish all of Shropshire’s pupils every success in the future.”
