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.

Usually, students will need to obtain a minimum of five GCSE’s graded 4 or above in order to complete further education at college. The requirements may differ at colleges and sixth forms.
If you do not get the results you were hoping for, you can contact your college of choice and explore your options.
