This year's GCSE results again indicate that Jersey students have achieved very good results in their GCSE examinations.
Mario Lundy, Director of Education, Sport and Culture, said he was pleased to see yet again another set of excellent results from the Island schools. “Today's examination results have yet again exceeded expectation and we yet again see evidence of the effectiveness of our education service. We must not forget that education starts in the early years and all of those involved in the education of this group of students should be very proud of their achievements”.
Head of Planning and Projects for Education, Sport and Culture, Jim Westwater, said he was delighted to see such good results. “Today's excellent results are due to the professionalism of our teachers, the diligence of the pupils and the support of their parents, not only during this year but throughout their entire school careers. The Island has good reason to be proud.”

One examination board (OCR) has sent out data that does not discriminate between A and A* grades, hence the top end results are very unlikely to be accurate at this stage.
