GCSE Results 2024: Delight as students in Portsmouth and Hampshire collect results

After years of hard work, secondary school students from across Hampshire have collected their GCSE results - and have been delighted with the results.

Exams in England are graded 9-1, with 9 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. A 9 is the equivalent to an A* and it is awarded to students that have performed exceptionally well. A paper can also receive a U which means the paper is ungraded.
