This week's Isle of Wight County Press is out tomorrow, Friday, August 28, with a GCSE supplement, picture spreads and much more.

Friday's paper features an eight page supplement of students receiving their GCSE results - our reporters visited schools from all over the Island to speak to those getting their grades.

The paper also includes picture spreads from Seaview and Shanklin regattas, and Yarmouth and East Cowes carnivals.

There are also eight pages of puzzles, three pages of letters and opinion, and all the latest news.

Pick up the County Press in shops from tomorrow morning.
