Free results-day advice at Wokingham Library

Young people weighing up their next step after receiving exam results can attend the free Elevate Wokingham Advice Sessions at Wokingham Library on 13 and 14 August 2026. No appointment is needed.

The walk-in sessions are aimed at young people receiving results and considering post-16 choices. Elevate Wokingham provides information, advice and guidance for 16 to 18-year-olds in Wokingham Borough who are not in education, employment or training, as well as young people up to 24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan.

When to attend at Wokingham Library

Entry is free and visitors can attend without booking. The source does not provide a library address, transport information or accessibility details.

Guidance for the next step after results

The advice sessions come as A-level, T-level and other post-GCSE learners receive results in the borough. Wokingham Borough Council said early A-level figures showed 31.8% of entries achieving A* or A, above the national average of 28.3%.

For young people whose grades open up the route they had hoped for, the sessions offer a place to discuss what comes next. For those reassessing their plans, the focus is on exploring available options rather than treating one set of results as the only route forward.

The council said 1,098 students in the borough sat a combined 3,130 A-levels. Overall, 79.8% achieved grades A to C, compared with 78.1% nationally, while 96.4% achieved A to E. Results day can still bring mixed emotions, and the sessions are intended to provide direct guidance at a point when choices may feel immediate.

Who Elevate Wokingham supports

Elevate Wokingham is a local information, advice and guidance service. Its core audience is young people aged 16 to 18 who are not in education, employment or training, alongside young people aged up to 24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan.

The sessions at Wokingham Library are also available to young people considering their next steps after exam results. The source highlights possible routes including university, apprenticeships, employment and other opportunities, but does not set out a fixed programme for the two days.

Cllr Prue Bray, Wokingham Borough Council’s executive member for children’s services, said students should seek advice and explore the opportunities available if they did not receive the grades they expected.

Other ways to contact the service

Young people can also use Elevate Wokingham’s online resources, contact a careers adviser by email, or call 07554 437421. The council says ongoing support and referrals are available throughout the year, including through the Elevate Wokingham self-referral form, Teams meetings and in-person appointments.

For anyone who wants in-person guidance immediately after results day, the confirmed practical option is to attend Wokingham Library during the listed walk-in hours.
