Brent young people celebrate A Level results and look ahead to their next chapter

Young people across Brent are receiving their A Level and BTEC results today, marking the end of years of hard work and the beginning of a new chapter.

Outcomes for 18-year-olds attending Brent schools continue to be positive after another fantastic Results Day. Brent’s A Level students scored significantly higher than the national picture in the highest qualifications, with more than 60% gaining A*, A and B grades. More than 83% of young people achieved grades from A* to C, showing an overall positive picture. Those taking vocational exams also did very well, with approximately 70% achieving a Distinction or Distinction*.

For many, Results Day is a chance to celebrate with friends, family and teachers and reflect on everything they have achieved. For others, it can be a challenging day, particularly if their results are not what they had hoped for.

Councillor Jake Rubin, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Employment & Climate Action, said:

“I want to congratulate every young person receiving their results today and recognise the hard work and determination that has brought them to this point.

“Results Day can bring a huge sense of achievement, but it can also feel daunting or disappointing if things have not gone to plan. If that is you, remember that one set of results does not define your future.

“There are lots of opportunities ahead, and Brent is here to help you find your way through them. Whatever happens today, be proud of how far you have come and look forward to what comes next.”

For students considering their next steps, the Wembley Jobs Fair offers an opportunity to meet employers and explore local employment, training and apprenticeship opportunities. The event takes place on Tuesday 15 September, from 10am to 4pm at Wembley Stadium, and registration for free tickets is now open.
