The council recognises that the past few years have been particularly challenging for Shropshire’s children and young people due to the ongoing impacts of educational disruption caused by the pandemic, and would like to commend students for their resilience and perseverance in taking public exams again this year.
Councillor Kirstie Hurst-Knight, Cabinet member for children and education, said:
“I would like to say a huge congratulations to all our pupils who took exams this year and would like to acknowledge and praise their efforts and dedication.
“We understand that a significant amount of hard work goes into preparing for these exams, and I hope everyone has obtained the results they need to support their future aspirations. It’s wonderful to see our post-16 pupils achieving their goals and moving forward with their chosen career paths.
“After some tough years, it’s great to see education and examinations returning to normalcy. I would also like to thank all the teachers, school and college staff, including the virtual school staff who support our looked-after students, for their incredible dedication in preparing young people for their next steps.
“For anyone who did not get the results they expected, please reach out to your school or college for advice on the many available opportunities.
“We wish all students receiving their results today the very best for the future.”
