More than 800 Year 11 students receive grades
More than 61% of Manx students collecting GCSE results today have received five or more at grade A*-C (including English and Maths), equalling the highest on record.
The percentage of pupils gaining A* and A grades has risen by 4% compared to 2018, while vocational or applied qualifications increased in popularity, making up 10% of the total.
More than 800 Year 11 pupils were entered into around 50 different subjects this year.
