Over 449,000 candidates who took OCR GCSEs and over 90,000 candidates who took our Cambridge Nationals this year will be waiting to receive their results today.

Mark Dawe, OCR Chief Executive, said: “Best of luck to everyone receiving their results today.

We know that success in exams represents a lot of hard work and commitment on the part of individual students, teachers, exams officers, and families.  Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved.

As well as students receiving GCSE results, I’d like to extend my congratulations to those celebrating success in Cambridge Nationals results today. This is the second year that students will receive results for the new generation of our famous vocational qualifications. 

Whatever the next steps you take may be, whether you’re going onto further study or beginning work or an apprenticeship, we wish you success for your future.”
