Students across Liverpool are celebrating after receiving their GCSE results today.
Hundreds of Year 11 students throughout the city have opened their envelopes at school this morning to find out how they fared in the first formal exams held since 2019. Much like their older peers receiving A-levels last week, this year’s cohort were the first to sit exams since the onset of the covid-19 pandemic, with teacher-based grades being awarded in 2020 and 2021.
Among those celebrating were Rhiannon Zeqaj at Notre Dame Catholic College, who secured four grade 9s - the equivalent of an A* - including in her favourite subject English Literature. She said: “I didn’t think I’d get what I got, I can’t believe I’ve done it.”
