A message from the Leader of the Council, Cllr Neghat Khan
Cllr Neghat Khan
*Well done to all our young people who got their GCSE results today!*
While some will have already secured a place at a Sixth Form or college, an apprenticeship or found work, others will not yet have decided what their next steps are, but support and advice is available to young people such as via Futures for You [ [link removed] ].
Whatever decisions they make, we'd like to wish them all the best in their futures.
