Important Information 

Results will be available to exam students to collect on the following dates:

A Levels: 12th August 2027

GCSEs: 19th August 2027

Please note that we are unable to email results to students.  If a student is unable to collect their results on the day, they can nominate someone to collect them on their behalf and further details will be provided nearer the time.

 

Please be aware that the following dates have been designated as ‘contingency days’ by the awarding bodies. These are additional exam dates which will be used in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations:

23rd June 2027. 

All examination students should therefore ensure that they are available until 24th June 2026 should there be exceptional circumstances that require an awarding body to reschedule an examination.
