After a school year like no other and confusion over how grades will be calculated, the anxious wait will finally be over today for those expecting their GCSE results in Norfolk and Waveney.

Envelopes being opened by students around the county will be gateways to A-levels, vocational courses and apprenticeships.

However, the coronavirus pandemic that meant students could not sit exams means many students will be receiving their results remotely.

Those who do return to school to celebrate with teachers and friends will get grades based on their teachers’ estimates rather than those calculated by an algorithm, following a government U-turn this week.

This live list of results from schools in Norfolk and Waveney will be updated as results come in to us, appearing alphabetically.

PLEASE NOTE: Except where 2020 figures have been supplied, the figures shown below are the percentage of A* to C grades students at school and colleges achieved in 2019, given purely as a guide.

Comparing like for like can be difficult at the best of times and it is impossible this year as students have not sat exams. Last year’s results are given merely as an indication of the school’s previous success.
