Congratulations to our brilliant young people on their A-level and BTEC results

Longbenton High School

The council would like to congratulate everyone picking up their A-level and BTEC results today (August 10).

The last year has been challenging but our young people have done us proud, as they always do.

North Tyneside Elected Mayor, Norma Redfearn CBE said: "I would like to offer my congratulations to all of our young people who are collecting their A-level and BTEC results today. You have continued to amaze us with your hard work, determination and resilience even during the most difficult of times and we are incredibly proud of you all.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our schools, colleges and parents/carers for their support during the pandemic. I am extremely proud and grateful to them all for dealing with the challenges and making sure that young people are educated, safe and cared for in the usual way."

Cllr Peter Earley, cabinet member for Children, Young People and Learning added: “The borough’s young people always make us exceptionally proud and today is no different – a huge well done to everyone picking up their A-level and BTEC results. I’d like to wish you all every success for the future.”

For those young people who would like support, the council's Connexions team is on hand to help. Advisers will be attending those schools that are opening for exam results and additional advisers will be available to contact by telephone and email for young people whose schools are emailing results. Advisers will also continue to provide support to young people following results days. For more info see www.skillsnorthtyneside.org.uk.
