Exam Results Advice & Support For Students And Parents

As young people and their families wait expectantly for exam results, help and advice is available. A/AS level results will be announced on Thursday 14 August and GCSE results on Thursday 21 August.

Next steps

Young people have important decisions to make about what comes next after results day, whether it's:

continuing in full-time education
starting an apprenticeship or traineeship
getting a job
taking a gap year

As a parent/carer you will want to know how best to support and guide them, particularly if they do not get the results they had expected.

Careers support

The Careers Service has a team of professionally-qualified advisers who provide free, impartial advice and guidance to both parents/ carers and students when thinking about future educational/ career paths.

Careers advisers use up-to-date labour market information, including new and growing sectors, and knowledge of the skills and qualities employers are looking for. There may be career opportunities available that you have not even considered before.
