With today being GCSE results day, we’ve taken a little deep-dive into the numbers to try and figure out how Manchester and the North West have done, and also calm some nerves if anyone hasn’t managed to attain what they were after.

00:00It's GCSE results day, so let's have a little chat about how you, the youth of Manchester,

00:04managed to do, and why it's not a massive deal if you've not got the grades you were

00:07looking for.

00:08So, the North West finds itself slap bang in the middle of a regional attainment chart

00:12with 18.6% of grades being graded at a 7 or above, though statistics make us the best

00:17in the North, which is no surprise.

00:19Girls are still dominating the guys I'm afraid, both in terms of overall attainment and attainment

00:23at grades 7 and over, but the gap has narrowed slightly, so keep going guys.

00:27If you've done well today, congratulations.

00:29Regardless of whether the grades were earned or lucky, you've put in the graft of five

00:32years at school and come out with something tangible, so really well done to you.

00:36But if not, don't stress yourself out about it.

00:38GCSE results matter only for getting into college or sixth form, it's not really got

00:43much to do with jobs or uni, so pick some lessons that you like, dust yourself off,

00:48crack on with them, I promise you'll be fine, and the great thing about sixth form is that

00:51there's a lot more coursework, so if exams aren't for you, you can find ways to make

00:54them less important.

00:56I've been Theo with Manchester World, follow us for more, congratulations and I'll see

00:59you again soon.
