A week on from A-level results day, it is now the turn of the region's GCSE students to learn how their efforts have been rewarded.

As teenagers look forward to life after high school, they will be returning today to open their envelopes and learn their all-important results.

This year's cohort is like no other, as it is the first to have completed their entire GCSE courses with some form of Covid disruption.

It is also the first time since 2019 that grades have been determined through traditional exam situations, rather than teacher assessments.

Experts predict this will see a drop in the number of top grades being dished out - although results are still expected to eclipse those of 2019, the last cohort before the pandemic hit.

This live blog will be updated throughout the day with results and reaction from all of Norfolk's schools.
