Students across Knowsley are collecting their A Level, BTEC, T Level and other results today.
With their results now known, it’s time for them to make big decisions about their future plans – whether to go on to further study, or to take the first steps onto a career ladder.
Whatever your results – better, worse or the same as expected – there are a whole range of options available to you.
What are my next steps?
If you are picking up exam results today, there are lots of sources of information available, so don’t hesitate to ask for advice.
- If you need advice and help, speak to your school or college in the first instance as they can help explain possible next steps.
- If you are looking at higher education, check the UCAS website which has lots of useful advice on next steps. If your grades were better or worse than you expected, or you’ve changed your mind about the course or university you’d like to choose, you can also use the UCAS clearing system to secure the place that is right for you.
- Students can also seek advice from the Exam Results Helpline run by the National Careers Service, available online or on freephone 0800 100 900.
- If you are now looking for work, the council’s Knowsley Works team may also be able to help you with your job hunt.
Congratulations to all those collecting exam results today
Cllr Sean Donnelly, Knowsley Council’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: “Young people across Knowsley are collecting their exam results today, the culmination of months of hard work.
“For those who achieved the results they wanted I’d like to offer my congratulations! For anyone who didn’t quite get what they wanted, or maybe just aren’t sure what their next steps should be, I would urge them not to worry! Whatever results you have achieved it is an exciting time for you and there are lots of options out there.
“Support and advice is available to help you take your next steps and I would urge people to make the most of this as they explore their available options.”
