00:00 Okay then Emily, how are you doing your results then?
00:02 I got three A*s in my subject.
00:05 What were the subjects?
00:06 English Literature, History and Psychology.
00:08 Well obviously you can't do any better than that, were you expecting to do that well?
00:11 No I wasn't, I needed three A's to go to university and I was really hoping I'd get that but this was a really good surprise to see that.
00:18 And how did you feel coming down this morning, were you nervous?
00:20 Really nervous, I wasn't really sure how I'd done but I think I did something.
00:26 And where are you going to university?
00:27 I'm going to University of York to study English Literature.
00:30 Okay then Victoria, how are you doing your results and what subject are you doing?
00:34 I did really well, I got triple distinction, starting BTEC Music Level 3.
00:39 Were you nervous coming down this morning?
00:41 Not particularly, I already had a good idea of what I was going to get.
00:45 And what's your plans now then with your results, what are you going to do?
00:48 I'm going to take a year off and then hopefully go down to London next year to study production.
00:55 Going out and celebrate today?
00:57 Yeah, with my mum and dad we're going to just have a little meal together.
01:01 Okay then Emily, what were you studying and how are you doing your results then?
01:06 So I was studying Sports Coaching and Development, it was a BTEC and I got triple distinction star.
01:11 And how do you feel about your results then?
01:13 I'm really happy, I was nervous but I'm happy.
01:17 And what's your plans now and what are you going to do with your results?
01:20 I'm going to go to Durham University and do primary education.
01:23 Are you going to go out and celebrate today?
01:25 Probably, probably do something.
01:27 Okay then Toni, how do you feel about this year's results, have you got any headline figures?
01:32 Overall we're really pleased with our results, students have worked exceptionally hard this year,
01:37 especially our BTEC students, we've seen some exceptional results overall for the students on those qualifications.
01:44 And in particular our T-Level students have done really well this year, especially across Health and Construction.
01:51 Now I know exam boards have been directed this year to bring grades more in line with pre-pandemic levels,
01:56 what's your thoughts on that?
01:59 We were always expecting some fluctuation around the grades and we were expecting that there would be changes
02:04 on some of the A-Levels or changes overall and we've prepared our students for that
02:08 and our staff have been supporting students in that as well.
02:11 The key thing now is for students, any students who didn't get the grades that they felt that they wanted,
02:16 is to have the support to go through clearing.
