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 14 August, 8.00am–1.00pm
- GCSE results day: Thursday 21 August, 8.30am–1.00pm
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 to print and complete to give written authority for an alternative person to collect your exam results will be available to download at the bottom of this page. Alternatively, the results can be posted to your 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.

Information on post-results services, such as reviews of results or access to scripts, will be published shortly.
