It's a big day for over 400 of the Isle of Man's high school students today (Thursday), with A-Level results due to be released.
Last year saw a record number of passes, with over 98% of students getting grades A*-E.

Mrs Gimbert says that's simply not the case, with improvements being down to a number of factors:

Oie Voaldyn: 'Our event is not cancelled'
Last chance to enter 2026 Parish Walk
April: 'Warm, dry and sunny' says Met Office
