Bishop Perowne School GCSE pupils Hannah Webb, Katy Flannigan and Alex Pritchard have been biting their nails in the run-up to results day today - but hopefully there will be tears of joy and sighs of relief when they open their envelopes.

The girls, from the school in Merriman's Hill Road, Worcester, are among thousands of teenagers getting their results across the county.

Students are expected to once again outdo their predecessors.

For full results and some of the success stories, see tomorrow's paper.
