Year 11 students across Shropshire and Herefordshire will be getting their GCSE results today.

But those expecting their BTEC results this morning now won't be getting them, after a last-minute decision to delay their release.

The exam board which runs them wants more time to recalculate grades following the fiasco over A-level results.

Schoolchildren will receive their GCSEs though.

They're based on teachers' assessments instead of a computer algorithm, following the government U-turn.
