Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet member for children, education and young people's services had congratulated students receiving their GCSE results today.

 Councillor Liz Brighouse said: “I would like to wish every student success in the next chapter of their lives, whatever that may be.

“There are so many choices and opportunities, from continuing in education to beginning work or learning a career through an apprenticeship.

“For those students who have not received the results they were hoping for, there is excellent support available both through the schools, and a number of services that offer help for young people.

“Again, congratulations, and also thank you to the dedicated school staff who have taught, coached and mentored our students during their time in Oxfordshire’s schools and colleges.”
