Results day – Advanced level 16th August 2007
The waiting is finally over for thousands of students
across Northamptonshire as they receive their exams results
for Advanced level courses, which will be published tomorrow
- Thursday 16th August. GCSE results will be published a week
later on Thursday 23rd August.
For many this is an exciting time but for those young people
whose exam results are not as expected, or are unsure what
they want to do, it can be quite daunting. There are loads
of options to consider including Further Education, vocational
training, Higher Education, getting a job – perhaps
with an Apprenticeship or taking a year out.
Kala Chauhan, a Connexions Personal Adviser said:
“To help make sense of information overload talk
to staff at Connexions who can offer information, advice and
guidance to put you back on track. Also seek advice from your
parents/carers and teachers at this important time in your
life. ”
Connexions Personal Advisers will be available at Northamptonshire
Connexions Access Points and at education establishments on
results day. You can telephone Connexions Access Points in
Northamptonshire free on 0800 73 13 2 19.
Connexions are also working with the exam results national
helpline, which will be open over the exam results period.
Advisers will be on hand to offer clear, impartial and confidential
advice to school and college-leavers nationwide on 0808
100 8000. Advisers will be able to give up-to-the-minute
information on course availability.
Young people looking for job vacancies can visit their local
Connexions or look at vacancies online at www.4you2.org.uk
and click on jobs4you2.
Deciding what to do isn’t always easy, but it is worth
remembering not to rush into any decision. Make sure you talk
though the options open to you with your family, teachers
and a Connexions Personal Adviser or phone the exams helpline
on 0808 100 8000.
