What time are GCSE results released?
RECEIVING GCSE results can be a nerve-wracking time for any student.
Every August teenagers head to their school to see how they have done, but what time can you collect your results?
What time are GCSE results released?
Students should receive their GCSE results in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 8am on results day.
Pupils can head to their school or college where they can pick up a paper copy of their results.
However, if they are unable to do this then you can request to receive them via post or email instead.
Those who have taken vocational-technical qualifications (VTQ) should receive their Level 2/BTec results on or before results day.
You should confirm with your place of education how and when you can collect your results.
2023’s results day is Thursday, August 24, with grades being released at 8am.
Since 2017 GCSEs have used a different grading system.
The exams used to be marked from A*-G grades but now work on a 9-1 system, which was introduced in England alongside a new GCSE curriculum in 2017.
The highest grade is marked at a 9, while 1 is the lowest a student can get.
A grade 4 is broadly equivalent to a C grade, and a grade 7 broadly equivalent to an A.
What time can teachers see GCSE results?
Teachers can access their students’ GCSE results before pupils but the time can vary.
Teachers don’t receive the results straight to them as it tends to be the exams officer who will receive the results.
How can I appeal?
If you don’t think you received the result the GCSE result you deserve, you can appeal it.
According to WJEC, you can talk to staff at your school or college and they will be able to offer you advice and guidance.
The WJEC website reads: “Your school or college may request one of our ‘Post Results Services’.
“You must give your permission to your school and college before they apply for a post-results service on your behalf.”
The WJEC website adds: “If, following a review of marking, your school or college believes there is still an error, they can submit an appeal on your behalf.”
