YEAR 11 students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be celebrating their GCSE results today.

After years of studying, students will now have choices to make with what to nest in their life as compulsory education comes to and end.

Whether it’s A-levels, apprenticeships or full-time work, today students will be able to go out with friends and celebrate.

To help with celebrations, a number of UK restaurants are offering free food to students today.

Here are some of the best restaurant deals to choose from:

Nando’s

Whether you're adding spice to your celebration or commiserating with chicken, Nando’s will be giving away a free starter or ¼ chicken to all GCSE students picking up their grades today.

Last year was a tough year all-round and due to Covid-closures Nando’s was not able to give students their well-deserved snack.

In a spicy turn-of-events this year, determined for no one to miss out (even if it’s a year postponed), Nando’s is opening the offer to 2020 results students.

Students will need to show their results and ID to collect their code for the order at table app and has a minimum spend of £7.
