GCSE Results Day 2026
THURSDAY 20 AUGUST
The results from each of the GCSE Boards should arrive in school on Thursday 20 August 2026.
Students may collect their results from school between 9.00am and 11.00am.
Post Results/Appeals information will be enclosed with results.
Members of Senior Leadership Team will be available to discuss results during this time.
Any results not collected will be posted and should arrive the following week.
Any results not collected will be sent first class after 11am on results day to the address we have on record, please let me know if this information needs updating.
Should a student be unable to collect results in person and wish for them to be collected by a named representative our procedure, due to data protection, is for the student to confirm in writing or via personal email to the exams officer wwollaston@croftonschool.co.uk that they give permission for the named representative, over 18 years, to collect results on their behalf, and confirming that the representative will provide photographic ID on collection.
It would be helpful if requests were made before Wednesday 12 August. Members of Senior Leadership Team will be available to discuss results. Post Results/Appeals information will be enclosed with results. Exam policies are available on the school website.
Exam policies are available to view HERE.
