Jackie Bedford Speaking on LBC News with Steve Holden on LBC News

A-Level results day is a crucial moment for many students — but it is only half the story.

Today I sat down with Steve Holden on LBC News to talk about the other side of results day. The part that does not always get said loudly enough.

Whatever the grades say, there is more than one way forward from here. University, apprenticeships, training, straight into work. All valid. All worth weighing up properly before anyone panics or settles for the first option in front of them.

If you or someone you love got results yesterday, take a breath first. The next step matters more than this moment.
