Councillor Jacquie Russell, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Learning and Skills said: “I would like to congratulate everyone in West Sussex who is receiving their results today, you should be proud of your efforts.

“It is also important to recognise the work of teachers across the county, as well as the support provided by parents and carers to help students achieve this milestone. Whatever your results may be, the county council’s careers advisors are available together with plenty of online resources to help you navigate your next steps and achieve your potential.” 

A breakdown of all grades by region can be found on Ofqual’s website.
