Borough students recognised for hard work as exam results are released

20 August 2026

Congratulations to the borough's students who have opened their GCSE results today, kickstarting a new, exciting chapter in their lives.

We also recognise and congratulate students receiving vocational and technical qualifications today, including V Certs, BTEC Tech Awards and City & Guilds results.

Councillor Julia Cambridge, Chair of Education and Children’s Services Committee, said: “Congratulations to all the students who received their exam results today. Their resilience and hard work over the past few years have paid off, and these results reflect the dedication of our young people, their teachers and their families. Every student should be proud of what they have achieved and look ahead with confidence to the next stage of their journey.

“Regardless of the results, support remains available for every student in the borough as they decide on their next steps, whether that is further education, an apprenticeship or a training programme.”

We remain committed to supporting students as they plan for the future. For students who did not receive the grades they hoped for, Richmond Council, through Achieving for Children, offers impartial advice and guidance via the Summer Support helpline on 07864 612857. Any young person feeling stressed or anxious about their results can access free, safe and anonymous online support through Kooth.
