Last year 61,300 students found a university place through Clearing, so if your child didn’t get their predicted grades, there’s no need to panic.
While for many students yesterday’s A-level results would have been a time of celebration, for the students who were less successful in their exams it may have been an upsetting day, worrying about whether they have still been accepted into the university of their choice and feeling confused about what to do next.
“It’s important to reassure your child that, whatever happens, there is lots that they can do and there are always options available,” says Alex Neill of Which? University.
“It’s not a bad lesson to learn that at some points in life things don’t always end up panning out exactly as planned. What is important is the way they deal with the situation and how they move forward.”
