When are GCSE results out this year?

GCSE results will be released from 08:00 onwards on Thursday. If you're picking them up in person, be sure to confirm the exact time with your school.

In England, GCSEs are graded on a numerical scale from 9 to 1 (This method replaced the old A-E grading system.)

A grade 4 is considered a "standard pass," while a grade 5 is a "strong pass."

Grade boundaries

Grade boundaries indicate the minimum number of marks required to achieve each grade.

These boundaries are determined by examiners and are published on results day.

Can I appeal against GCSE results?

If you believe your grade isn't accurate, the first step is to discuss it with your school or college.

They can contact the exam board on your behalf to request a review of your marks.

If, after the review, you still feel the grade is unfair, you can ask your school or college to file an appeal.

If you're still not satisfied with the outcome, you can seek a review from Ofqual.

Remember that exam results are not the only measure of success, and if things don't go as planned, there are many other paths to help you achieve your goals.

What happens if I fail a GCSE?

  • You can resit any GCSE exam the following academic year
  • Resits for GCSE Maths and English, take place from 5th November. (These are mandatory subjects)
  • To explore these options, speak to your school about the best course of action

What can I do next?

You are required to stay in official education or training until you are 18, but you can choose to continue with full-time education, begin an apprenticeship, or study part-time whilst working.

Many students opt to study A-levels, but the International Baccalaureate (IB) is also an option.

There are also various vocational courses available, such as National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), BTec Level 3s, TechBacs, Cambridge Technicals, and T-levels.

Alternatively, you might consider an apprenticeship, where you earn a salary while spending 80% of your time gaining practical experience in the workplace alongside your training.
