Students across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are receiving their A-Level, Applied General, Technical and T-Level results today, 15 August.
Exam grades have been awarded to more than 3,000 BCP students studying at colleges and sixth forms in the area.
Councillor Richard Burton, Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People, Education and Skills, at BCP Council, said: “Congratulations to everyone who has sat exams and finished courses this summer.
“It’s a great achievement and I’d like to wish everyone the best for the future, whether they’re continuing in education, entering the workplace, or taking some time out to think.
“I would also like to express our thanks to all the teachers, lecturers and support staff who work so hard supporting young people through their educational journey.”
Cathi Hadley, Corporate Director for Children’s Services, BCP Council, said: “I am thrilled for everyone reaching this great milestone today and passing these very important exams.
“There will be those who are happy with their results but there will also be some who are disappointed because they haven’t got the grades they expected.
“For help, support and guidance, students should contact their education setting to help them make decisions about their next steps, whether it be into higher education or the workplace. There are always lots of other options available if their first choice is in doubt today.”
