Students at The Hemel Hempstead School are celebrating their GCSE results today (Thursday, August 12).

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, as with 2021, pupils have not sat exams. This year, teachers have been given the responsibility to award grades.

Teachers will have used evidence like class work, homework, coursework and in-class tests to provide grades for pupils.
