00:00 It's been an exciting day here at Sutton Coalfield College and at all of the sites of Birmingham Metropolitan College
00:05 as it's GCSE results day and students are very excited to get their results and to see how they've done.
00:11 The results appear to be in for many students already who came out today in hope of catapulting themselves
00:19 to the next stage of their educational journey.
00:22 So, did they receive the results they were expecting? And what's next for the students here?
00:29 Well, I got a grade 5 in my art which I wasn't really expecting to be fair.
00:35 I honestly thought I was going to fail. I didn't really have much hope to be fair.
00:39 And to be fair it was really all thanks to my teacher really who kind of helped me get through it really
00:45 because I suffer quite a lot with quite a lot of health issues and it was really all thanks to her that I really got through
00:51 and had the confidence to even continue with my GCSE.
00:58 Well, I got a grade 2 for English, a grade 1 for Maths.
01:02 Not exactly what I wanted but at the end of the day I did what I could.
01:08 So, you know, my ambitions are to eventually leave here, become an acting teacher.
01:18 So, yeah, to be honest.
01:22 I got a 4 in English and a 5 in Maths.
01:27 I'm really proud of me because like two years ago I had like 1 and 1.
01:36 Because the GCSE is really hard to do.
01:42 Also with Covid and strikes it's really hard to study and be like focused on what you need to do.
01:50 I only retook English and I got a grade 5. It was a resit.
01:56 At first when I left school I kind of felt embarrassed to retake English but at least I'm safe now.
02:04 I got a grade 5 which is just enough to get such jobs and courses.
02:10 I want to go to college or sixth form.
02:15 I want to get in and do A levels or T levels.
02:21 And I want to do Psychology, Sociology and Law.
02:26 I want to go back to sixth form and do Law, History, English Lit.
02:34 And then it's like an essay thing. You write an essay. I don't know what it's about.
02:42 Today I got a 5.4 in Science and Energy, 4 in Business, 4 in Maths, 7 in History, 6 in English Language, 7 in English Literature and then a 7 in Religious Studies.
02:56 I'm happy with the results I got today and I'm hoping it will bring me closer to being able to do Sports Therapy.
