Thousands of Yorkshire students receive GCSE results
Thousands of students have collected their GCSE results on Thursday, with many reflecting on the profound impact of the coronavirus Yorkshire and the Humber, 18.4% entries were awarded the top grades of seven or higher, a slight increase compared to 18.3% in 2024 and 17.8% in the pre-pandemic year of most regions, Yorkshire and the Humber has also seen a drop in its pass rate, decreasing from 64.1% in 2019 to 63.6% in Mohammad Zeeshan said that despite a challenging start to his secondary education due to the pandemic, he was "very proud" of his results. Mohammad, who attends Oasis Academy Lister Park, in the Manningham area of Bradford, plans on studying maths, further maths, physics and history A-Levels at Dixons Sixth Form wants to study mechanical engineering at university, which he is on track to do after a tough start to year 10. "I was predicted very low grades, like barely passes - fours and fives," he said. "I was messing about a lot in year 10 and then from year 11 onwards I decided to get my head down."Mohammad's cohort started secondary school life during Covid-19 lockdowns - and much of his first two years were spent distance learning."We all had a rough beginning towards the start of year 7 because we were all impacted by Covid," he said. "It had a social and mental health impact on the students."Ebrahim Mayat already knows that he wants to study physics at the University of received high grades, including two nines - the highest grade possible indicating the top 1% of also said that Covid "kind of hindered" his cohort's education, "but eventually when it ended and we got back into school full time, everything got back into shape". 'Attendance issues' Jules Millar, principle at the school, said that attendance had been an issue that has not fully recovered since the Covid pandemic, but is beginning to return to normal. Attendances at Oasis Lister Park were usually upwards of 90% before Covid, she year's attendance has been around the 86% mark, up from 81% the year before."We're still experiencing the attendance issues and the idea of being at school every day is the norm," Ms Millar said."There's been children in this year group we've had to collect from home, provide additional support for and refer to social services, because they still haven't quite recovered." 'Nervous and excited' At St Aiden's Church of England High School in Harrogate, headteacher Siân Dover said she was feeling "very proud" of all her students."I am feeling nervous and excited for them all," she Dover said there were also a lot of people on hand to support students as they received their results."Our pastoral team, teaching team, the careers team and the sixth form team are all here to support the children."Those that didn't get the grades or those who got some really great grades and have gone 'actually I want to go a different path than I thought'.Her advice to students, irrespective of their grades, was to take some time to "absorb" their results and remember that whatever they have achieved, "there is always something out there for everyone". At nearby Harrogate High School, pupils including Elise Lovell were relieved to get their exam results."I am definitely pleased with my results and I can get into the sixth form of my choice."Mark Orovskyi, who is originally from Ukraine, travelled back to Leeds Bradford Airport from a holiday in Poland to collect her said he was most relieved to have passed his English exams."Obviously I am Ukrainian, but I just prepared and hoped for the best and it turned out amazing." For Kate Norris, a student at St Bernard's Catholic High School in Rotherham, it was an emotional morning."When I opened my results I was happy but I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I just bawled."She said she had passed all of her exams and got distinctions in the subjects she wanted."All the things I was worried about I've passed."Kate hopes to go onto sixth form college to study English, drama and graphic communications. Fellow pupil Joshua Sholademi was also celebrating."I did pretty decent," he said."I got a few eights and nines, some sevens, and three sixes. I am really relieved, I was so nervous."Joshua said he wants to go to sixth form college to do history, politics and law at A-level."I am really proud of myself," he added. Headteacher at St Bernard's, Andy Riding, said the students had excelled and that the school was "really pleased" with the results, which were an improvement on the previous year."A particular strength is English, over 80% got a grade four or above and other strengths included really strong outcomes in RE."He said it was also important to remember that results "should not define any young person". At Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley, Arthur Rogers said it felt like the "most important day" of his life."I care about these results a lot, so me coming in and seeing that I've got what I wanted, it's a good feeling."He said he had done better than he had expected in some subjects."So I am going to sixth form, I'm excited definitely."Fellow student Hannah Young said today's results "meant so much" especially as she felt she had worked really hard."I'd prepared for a worst case scenario, so I was already going in feeling a bit disappointed so it was a nice surprise," she said of opening her results."I got nine nines and one eight, I get to stay here for sixth form and study maths, drama and physics."I am so happy and so relieved. It's been a lot of time, a lot of work." Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Is there a 'resit crisis'? Key takeaways from 2025's GCSE results
More than 600,000 teenagers have been opening GCSE and other Level 2 results on have just finished Year 11, marking the end of a secondary school journey that began in Covid "bubbles" back in 2020. But a growing proportion of those opening results are older, having resat the English or maths GCSEs that they didn't pass the first time of those older students will have sat their initial GCSEs at a time when grades were being purposefully lowered to tackle grade inflation during the are the key things you need to know. 1. GCSE pass rate falls again The GCSE pass rate has fallen again – with 67.4% of all grades in England, Wales and Northern Ireland at 4/C and is slightly down from 67.6% last were always expected to be similar to last year, after years of flux because of the Covid were sharp rises in top grades in 2020 and 2021 when exams were cancelled and results were based on teachers' was followed by a phased effort to bring them back down to 2019 levels, and grading returned to pre-pandemic standards across all three nations last the overall pass rate fell this year, there are differences between the is the only nation to have seen a fall (from 67.4% to 67.1%). The pass rate has actually gone up in Wales (from 62.2% to 62.5%) and Northern Ireland (from 82.7% to 83.5%).The percentage of all top grades, marked at 7/A or above, rose very slightly from 21.8% to 21.9%. There have been warnings of fiercer competition for places at sixth form colleges this year. 2. Resit numbers are up Nearly a quarter of maths and English GCSEs were taken by people aged 17 and older this made up 23.4% of maths and English grades – compared to 20.9% last will be mature students sitting exams for the first time, but most will be young people resitting papers. Many of them will have taken their GCSEs the first time around when grades were being brought down after the pandemic, leading to fewer England, pupils who don't get at least a grade 4 in GCSE English and maths have to continue studying for it alongside their next course - their A-levels or their T-level, for Department for Education (DfE) says pupils should retake the exam when they think they are ready - although it has been described as a requirement in the pass rate for those who resit is far lower than it is for Year England, just 20.9% of English entries and 17.1% of maths entries from people aged 17 and over were marked at grade 4 or Duffy, the head of the OCR exam board, said there was a "resit crisis"."Tinkering at the edges of policy won't fix this," she said. "We need fundamental reform to maths and English secondary education... to support those who fall behind."The Association of School and College Leaders called the policy "demoralising", while the Association of Colleges said resits "can undermine confidence and motivation".They are all waiting for the DfE to publish its curriculum and assessment review this year, which is examining the policy. 3. Regional gap shrinks, but it's still higher than before Covid Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson warned on Wednesday that these GCSE results would "expose the inequalities that are entrenched in our education system".We only have limited data at the moment - a breakdown of exam results by things like ethnicity and free school meal status come later in the year - but we can look at regional last year, London had the highest pass rate (71.6%) and the West Midlands had the lowest (62.9%).It's the first time the gap between the highest- and lowest-performing regions has shrunk since 2021. It's 8.7 percentage points this year, down from 9.4 last the gap is still wider than it was at any point in the decade leading up to the pandemic, when it ranged between 6.4 and 7.2 percentage narrowing of the gap this year is not because the pass rate in the West Midlands has risen (it has actually dropped slightly), but rather because it fell more steeply in London than in any other region. 4. Gap between boys and girls is the lowest on record The gap between boys' and girls' pass rates across all three nations has narrowed to its lowest on continue to outperform boys, but their grades have dropped while boys' have risen means there's a difference of 6.1 percentage points this year, down from 6.7 last been looking over data that goes back all the way to 2000, and that gap is the lowest it's been at any point this was at its widest in 2017 (9.5 percentage points) and has been falling ever from the Education Policy Institute suggests that girls' performance has been "declining in absolute terms" since the Covid has linked this to "worrying trends around girls' wellbeing" such as worsening mental health and social media use. 5. Au revoir French... hola Spanish French has been a staple of British secondary education for years, but it's been overtaken by Spanish in popularity for the first time were 136,871 entries for Spanish GCSE this year, compared to 132,808 for Duffy, from the OCR, said it could be because Spanish was a "massive global language" and Spain was a popular holiday French teacher at a school in Scarborough agreed, telling the BBC that pupils associated Spanish with their favourite footballers, as well as "sunshine and holidays"."They say they are more likely to use it when they go away," she Association of School and College Leaders said it was "great to see" Spanish becoming so popular, but the decline in entries to French and German was a "source of concern".
