Island Students had to spend several nervous hours waiting for their results. They were made to wait longer than many students on the mainland because the results were delayed as the helicopter was grounded first thing, due to fog and the Islands post could not be delivered. Students finaly found out their grades at 3:30 in the afternoon, nearly five hours after they were meant to be issued.

Though the Island students average pass rates are lower than previous years - they are still way ahead of the national average.
County-by-county results will be issued in the papers tomorrow. Scilly News will report of IOSSSc’s position in the tables.
With many A-stars, A’s and B’s the Island students are maintaining their reputation, despite allegations of erratic teaching, inconsistent teacher posts and poor OFSTED reports.
