The Isle of Wight Council is congratulating students who have worked hard to achieve their A-level, technical, vocational, and apprenticeship qualifications this year.
The council expects to have the full picture of results, achieved by students who sat examinations, in early 2024 when the final and validated data is published by the Department for Education.
Tickner: Hard work and determination from all
Andy Tickner, County Education Manager – Participation and Lifelong Learning said,
“On behalf of the council, I would like to congratulate all the Island’s brilliant post-16 students for their hard work and determination.
“We must also thank the many dedicated teachers and tutors in our colleges, sixth forms and our training providers who have helped young people as they have worked towards these qualifications.”
This will be a time of different emotions for many students and the council offers a range of advice and support for young people wondering how to take the next steps towards their careers after their results.
