As young people across Devon receive their exam results, representing for many the culmination of years of hard work, our Leader and Cabinet Member responsible for young people’s education, Councillor Julian Brazil, says the council is there to support all young people to achieve their best, whatever their results.
His comments come as thousands of pupils across Devon have received their A-level and GCSE results this past seven days.
Many will be happy with their results, others less so perhaps, but Councillor Brazil says credit should go to every single pupil for getting this far in their studies.
He said:
“A huge well done to everyone who has received their A-level and GCSE results this past week.
“Congratulations to everyone who got what they’d hoped for, and commiserations to those who worked hard for more.
“Results day is often an emotional time, representing the culmination of young people’s academic work to date. It can be an exciting time, but equally a reflective one as pupils face new decisions and new opportunities ahead.
“How ever you got on, if you need any advice or guidance about your options ahead – whether that’s further education, employment or training – our Employment Hubs and Youth Hubs can help you.”

They work to support young people aged 16 plus on their journey to training and employment, offering support with CV writing, interview support, job and apprenticeship search, other application support, and more.
