Although many students have not been able to undertake exams due to the Covid pandemic, it is still the time of year when exam results drop through letterboxes or into email inboxes. This time is undoubtedly a nervous period as each student patiently waits to learn their grades.

And we want to give people the chance to tell the world – or at least the city - how proud they are of their special student(s) in The Star newspaper.

It doesn’t matter whether the student in your life is receiving their GCSE or A-level results, has completed a degree, finishing an apprenticeship or is someone who has achieved their vocational qualification at college.

We want to celebrate success of every kind. There will certainly be students with lots of top grades, but we also think it is right to recognise the efforts of everyone who has worked hard to achieve the very best grade they could. Everyone deserves credit and recognition for giving it their all.

In anticipation of next weeks exam results, we are offering readers the opportunity to send a short public greeting to these extra special students.

Here’s how you can send a message to get published in our paper:
