Students across Thurrock are celebrating after receiving their GCSE results, marking a major milestone in their education journey.
To celebrate the occasion, Cllr Vikki Hartstean, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Education and Community Safety, visited Harris Academy in Chafford Hundred and Mossbourne Fobbing Academy in Standford-le-Hope to congratulate students and staff in person.
Cllr Hartstean said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Harris Academy and Mossbourne Fobbing Academy this morning and speak with students as they opened their results. Their hard work, determination and resilience over the past year is truly inspiring.
“Whether students are heading to college, starting an apprenticeship, or still exploring their options – today is a moment to be proud of.
“For those who may be feeling uncertain about their next steps, I encourage you to reach out to our Inspire Youth Hub. Their team of experienced careers advisors are here to help you find the path that’s right for you.”
To support young people post-results day, a special Results Day Support Session will be held at the Inspire Youth Hub in Grays on Tuesday 26 August, from 10am to 1pm.
The session will be attended by careers advisors and representatives from local education and training providers, including USP College, Central Training Group, The STC Group, South Essex College, and TCHC Group.
