Spirit FM's Exam Results Guide - GCSE Results

exam results guide

Welcome to Spirit FM's GCSE Exam Results Guide with Chichester College.

GCSE results are arriving on Thursday 22nd August 2019, but try to relax...

 

In association with

Chichester College

Changing lives through learning

Top tips for results day:

  • Have a good night's sleep - head to bed a little earlier than you would normally to give your body a bit more time to get to sleep. 
  • Remain calm - your exams are finished so there isn't anything more you can do at this stage. 
  • Be positive - whatever results you receive there are loads of options available. 
  • Open them in a place you feel comfortable - remember you don't have to open your results at the school, you can take them home and open them in a relaxing environment. 

 

GCSE

What happens if I don't get the results I was expecting?

It can be upsetting to find out you didn’t gain the results you wanted, but you must stay positive!

  • Speak to your teacher or careers advisor.

  • Call the institution you have applied to and see if they will take you anyway (many do, based on interview and application, don’t be disheartened).

  • Consider applying for courses with lower entry requirements, it may take a little longer to achieve what you want, but at least you will be studying something you are interested in, just at a slightly lower level to start with.

  • Consider retakes, either through a sixth form or local college, you can sometimes do these alongside studying your next qualification.

 

What are my options after GCSE?  

Due to Government legislation, you must be in education or training until you are 18.

This means you can benefit from the further education of your choice, and you have plenty of options available to you.

 

Full-time education

There are many further education colleges in our area that offer some fantastic courses and facilities to get the career you want.

If you know what area you want to study and train in, your local college is a great first step to getting the skills you need to succeed. Courses at college range from A Levels and Baccalaureates to NVQs and National Diplomas, most of which can lead to university or the first step on the career ladder.

On the other hand, you may want to attend a smaller school sixth form to study a combination of A Levels, with a view to progressing on to study at university.

This is a great way to stay in your comfort zone and you will know your teachers alongside remaining with familiar faces.

If your school doesn’t have a sixth form, it doesn’t mean you can’t apply to do A Levels at another school, so shop around and check out your options.

 

Part-time education

While studying A Levels or vocational courses may be first choice for many people, it might not be right for you.

If you’re working, self-employed or volunteering for more than 20 hours a week, part-time study may be something to consider. Speak to your local college to find out what options are available for you.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are an increasingly popular choice after completing GCSEs.

As an apprentice, you will work no more than forty hours a week, receive a wage and also receive on the job training. You will also study at college for a nationally recognised qualification.

It’s a great chance to build upon your skills but also jump straight into the job sector you are passionate about.
