Youth Employment UK have shared some useful information for students receiving their GCSE results this week
Firstly, we would like to congratulate all of your A-Level students who have managed to successfully progress to their preferred destination.
No doubt the last 24 hours have been a trying time for students and staff trying to negotiate the options made available to them late in the day by the government. Our thoughts are with any student that received grades significantly lower than mock results or predicted grades and who might be facing an uncertain future while they consider making an appeal, in order to meet the terms of their University offer.
We want to reassure you that at Canterbury Christ Church University we are here to support your students at this anxious time and will hold original offers until final regraded results are received. places will be guaranteed as long as regraded results mean that the terms of the offer have been met.
We can also discuss alternative courses available with your students’ current grades and explore what opportunities are still available at Christ Church.
We have a dedicated Clearing team who are here to help with every step. Students can call 01227 926000 to discuss further.
