As students receive their A level, T level and VTQ results, Cllr Laurie Burton, cabinet member for children, young people and SEND has sent a message of congratulations.
Cllr Burton says: "As results day arrives, I want to send my congratulations to all of you. Whether you're feeling excited, nervous, or a mix of both, remember that your results are just one part of your journey. I also want to acknowledge your hard work and commitment.
"Whether you're continuing your education, exploring vocational opportunities, or taking a different route, I wish you the very best of luck for the future.
"Thank you also to all the teachers, parents, and carers who have supported you along the way. I am sure your guidance and dedication has made a significant impact."
