"A huge congratulations to all students, teachers and parents on this year's exam results. Today is a day for celebrating all the hard work that has gone in to achieving these results.
"As a parent of a young person collecting results this summer, I know how nerve wracking this day is for them and those who support them.
"If you don't do as well as you'd hoped, then don't despair. There's always another route to doing well at what you want to do, provided you never give up on wanting to learn and develop your skills.
"I hope you're proud of your achievements and feel confident about your next steps – whether that's continuing with your education or entering the workplace for the first time."
On 14 August, GCE results day, Mark posted a 'well done' video on our YouTube channel. You can watch Mark's message here.
