More than 800 Year 11 students receive grades
More than 61% of Manx students collecting GCSE results today have received five or more at grade A*-C (including English and Maths), equalling the highest on record.
The percentage of pupils gaining A* and A grades has risen by 4% compared to 2018, while vocational or applied qualifications increased in popularity, making up 10% of the total.
More than 800 Year 11 pupils were entered into around 50 different subjects this year.
Schools Improvement Adviser Joel Smith says this comes despite claims exams are getting harder:
