Thousands of students across the High Peak and Derbyshire are preparing to receive their A-level and GCSE results.

A-level results will be announced on Thursday 18 August and GCSE results one week later on Thursday 25 August.

Most exams and assessments did not take place in the 2019/20 or 2020/21 academic years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Examinations and assessments for GCSEs, AS and A-levels (as well as for vocational and technical qualifications) went ahead again in summer 2022.

Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education Councillor Alex Dale said: “I’d like to wish all our students who will soon receive their A-level or GCSE results the very best of luck.

“The last few years have been difficult for all students, their families and school staff who have all worked incredibly hard in very challenging circumstances.  

“I’d like to thank headteachers, teachers, staff, governors, parents, and carers for supporting our young people through this important time in their lives.

“There’s plenty of advice and support on offer for all students from their school or college as they consider their next steps and I’d like to wish our students all the best for the future.”

Support and guidance services for young people include:

• National Careers Service: nationalcareers.service.gov.uk or call 0800 100 900
• UCAS: ucas.com
• National Apprenticeships Service: apprenticeships.gov.uk 
• Derbyshire County Council’s Adult Community Education Service: derbyshire.gov.uk/adulteducation

Students unhappy with their results should check with their school or college for more information.

A full list of Derbyshire results will be available from the Department for Education in the autumn.
