Date and Time The wait for GCSE results is almost over. This year, GCSE results day is on Thursday, 22 August 2024. Schools will receive the results a day earlier, on Wednesday, 21 August, but students can collect their results starting at 8 am on the 22nd. It’s a good idea to check with your school to confirm the exact time for collection, as it may vary.

How to Receive Your GCSE Results Most students will collect their results in person at their school or college. Your school will contact you with details on how and when you can pick them up. If you can’t collect them in person, some schools may offer to send your results by phone or email.

What If I Don’t Get the Grades I Want? If your results aren’t what you expected, don’t panic. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Talk to Your Teachers: They can offer advice and help you explore your options.
  2. Check with Your Desired School or College: Even if you didn’t get the grades you hoped for, they may still accept you. If not, they may ask you to resit a specific GCSE, such as Maths or English, in November.
  3. Resits: The deadline for resit applications is Friday, 4 October 2024, and the resit results will be released on Thursday, 9 January 2025.
  4. Appeals: If you believe there’s been a mistake in marking, you can request a review. The deadlines for appealing grades vary by exam board, so be sure to check the specific dates.

What Happens Next? If your initial plan doesn’t work out, your school can help you find another education provider. Remember, there are always options available, so stay positive and explore the alternatives.
