Yesterday (Thursday, August 22) marked this year’s GCSE results day as pupils in the borough celebrated their achievements.
School staff and pupils across South Tyneside have worked tirelessly over the last school year to ensure that they can achieve the grades that they wanted.
Speaking on results day, Councillor Liz McHugh, Lead Member for Children and Families Social Care & Education and Skills at South Tyneside Council, has praised pupils across the borough for their efforts.
Cllr McHugh commented: "Well done to our young people who are to be commended for these results.
"Behind every young person's success are the efforts of their parents and carers and, of course, our dedicated teaching and support staff.
“Everyone who touches the lives of our young people will have played a role in helping them achieve success but ultimately it is our young people today who must take the credit.
“Congratulations go to you all."
