D-Day for local A-Level students as results out

Thousands of school pupils are awaiting exam results

Tomorrow (Thursday) is D-Day for local A-Level students as the results of this year's exams are released.

For hundreds of students across the area the agony of waiting will be over as they find out how they performed in the summer exams - and what the destination will be if they have opted for further education.

The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) has set up a dedicated examinations helpline which offers advice and guidance for students who are expecting their A-Level and GCSE results over the next fortnight.
