IT’S GCSE results day – the day that teenagers across St Helens find out their exam results.

Having spent the past two years working towards the national assessments, the youngsters will be heading out to schools across the town this morning to pick up their grades.

Many students will be celebrating and preparing to head off to their chosen colleges and work placements.

In the past, schools and colleges have waited until 10am to hand out the GCSE results, but many have opened earlier today so that students can receive their grades as quickly as possible.

Has your son or daughter received their GCSE results today?

Would you like to say congratulations and praise them for all their hard work over what has been a difficult two years?

Use the form below to send us a well done message and don’t forget to include a photo of your son or daughter.

A selection of these messages will be included in an online article later today, Thursday, and could also appear in next week’s St Helens Star.
