Checked on GCSE results day · 20 August 2026
Away on GCSE results day? Arrange secure online access, email, post or authorised collection with your school before the day.
Contact your school or college before results day and follow its process. It may provide secure online access, email or post, or allow an authorised person to collect results with written permission and identification. Exam boards usually cannot give results directly to students.
Ask the exams office which options it supports and what form of authorisation it needs. Confirm the release time, email address or portal login and how confidential information will be protected. Test any school account before travelling.
Many schools allow this only with the student's written permission and the collector's identification. The exact policy is local. Do not send somebody without confirming the requirements, because staff may be unable to release the results.
Keep your intended provider's contact details and offer conditions with you. Arrange a way to speak privately and save the full slip. If a result is missing or a course condition is missed, contact the school and provider rather than waiting until you return.
Continue with the question closest to your next decision. Each guide is source-checked and links back to the official service for case-specific action.
Revise Right is not an exam board. Check your school, college, awarding organisation or regulator before acting on a grade, review, appeal or resit deadline.
It may, using a secure process, but this is a local decision. Ask the exams office before results day.
Possibly, if the school permits it and receives the required written authorisation and identification. Check its policy first.
Usually no. Exam boards issue results through centres and generally direct students back to their school or college.
Use the contact route the school gave you. Avoid sharing passwords; ask for a secure alternative and confirm your identity through the school's process.
