STUDENTS are being given a helping hand in coping with impending exam results at a clinic to help them plot their next move.

Hundreds of youngsters will find out their A-Level grades on Thursday and will have important decisions to make about their future.

A range of tutors from Redcar and Cleveland College, in Redcar, along with specialist careers advisors, will be available to provide a counselling and advice service for students.

They will be providing information about university courses, vocational training, examination re-sits and potential routes into employment.

The college said the clinic would also help to bridge the time gap between students receiving their results and sharing the news with their families.
