The comments made by James Cleverly, the Secretary of State for Education, on 25 August 2022.
Students receiving their results today should be extremely proud, and I want to congratulate them all. The teaching profession has worked incredibly hard and these results are a testament to the resilience of both our students and staff.
We have the most exciting range of post-16 options for students to choose from now, whether that’s one of our exciting new T Levels, an apprenticeship or A levels. There is an option for everyone.
I wish students the very best of luck, no matter what those next steps are.
