Collecting results
GCSE and A-level exam results will be available for students to collect in person from school on the following dates:
- A-level results day: Thursday 13 August, 8.00am–12.00pm
- GCSE results day: Thursday 20 August, 8.30am–12.00pm
If a student is unable to collect their results in person, we require their written authority for a named person to collect them on their behalf. This written authority must be received by the exams manager prior to results day, and a copy brought on the day by the nominated person. The forms for alternative collection of results are available to download, print and complete at the bottom of this page. Alternatively, the results can be posted to their home address, however, we will require a stamped addressed envelope to do so.
You can contact the exams manager by email at exams@silverdale.chorustrust.org.
Post-results services
Post results services and fees information documents will be provided in your results envelope on results day and will also be available on this site. The post results services are available from the time results are published until the stated deadlines.
