The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I would like to congratulate every young Londoner who is receiving their GCSE results today. This is a proud day for students, their
families, friends and teachers and it’s so important that we recognise the hard work, dedication, and commitment from everyone who has helped these young people reach this milestone in their lives. I hope that you received the grades you were expecting or hoped for today, but if things haven’t gone to plan, please be reassured that there are many different pathways to success and I would encourage everyone to explore potential options by talking to your teachers, parents, or contact the National Careers Service for advice and support.” Photo by U.S. Embassy London, Wikimedia commons.
