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 12 August 2027
- GCSE results day: Thursday 19 August 2027
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 an alternative collection of results are available to download, print and complete at the bottom of this page. Alternatively, the results can be posted to a student’s home address if a stamped addressed envelope is provided.
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 page. The post-results services are available from the time results are published until the stated deadlines.
Internal appeals procedure
Internal appeals apply to non-examined assessments (NEAs) which are marked by Silverdale staff. Students will be given their marks by teachers and have an opportunity to appeal the mark given before it is submitted to the exam board.
If you wish to lodge an appeal, you can download the Internal Appeals Procedure and the Review of Marking Appeal form below.
As NEAs are then moderated by the exam board, who may raise or lower the mark given, your final mark is not confirmed until results day.
