Thousands of young people across North Derbyshire are eagerly waiting to discover their A Level results tomorrow.

It's been a stressful year for many though, with this year's exams getting cancelled-while other assessments have been altered due to the impact of Covid-19.

Dan Shippam is a Lead Mentor at Chesterfield College.

He has this advice for anyone who's worrying about what grades they might end up with:

"One big thing that I've seen since finishing at school, college and university, is that a lot of people have had an aspiration in mind, and they haven't quite got to where they wanted to be.

"However, they've then gone down a different path, which's made them happier than they ever even thought they could be.

"So, no matter what happens tomorrow, everyone should be so proud for just doing their qualifications in what's been an incredibly difficult year."

Josephine Turner's a Lead Co-ordinator at Chesterfield College.

She has these tips for how students can stay calm in the build up to Tuesday:

"Try and get a good night's sleep. It's important to rest and relax, maybe book something in with your friends or family as we're allowed to do a lot more of that now, such as seeing a film at the cinema?

"If students are pre-occupied with an enjoyable activity, it'll help them to prepare for the following day."
