Tomorrow, many pupils receive their exam results!

For many school pupils it's exam results time tomorrow!

I'm talking about The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) which is an academic qualification in a range of subjects taken in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, having been introduced in September 1986 and its first exams taken in 1988. State schools in Scotland use the Scottish Qualifications Certificate instead. However, private schools in Scotland often choose to follow the English GCSE system. Pupils usually sit these exams in Year 11 when they are 16 years of age.

In 2025 the date for GCSE results is Thursday 21st August 2025. Normally, results will be available from 8am, but pupils/students are always advised to check with their school when they can go in to collect them.

Two of the grandchildren will be receiving their results tomorrow, and like many families I think phone lines, messages etc. will be rather busy 😊
