Exam Results 2026

Please find below the dates for the release of exam results to students:

AS and A Level - Thursday 13 August 2026

GCSE - Thursday 20 August 2026

A letter, giving further information about the publication of results in August, will be sent out by our Exams Officer, Mr Morris, to all students and parents/carers in early July.  In the meantime, please feel free to contact Mr Morris at the above email address if you have any questions relating to the summer results.

Ahead of any PPE’s and formal examinations that students sit in the 2025 – 26 academic year, as well as any non-exam assessement (NEA) work or coursework for formal submission that students complete this year, the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) have produced the following documents to outline to student and parents/carers the rules and regulations of sitting exams and completing NEA work and to answer any questions they may have in relation to this:

 

Exams:

Preparing to sit your exams

Information for Candidates - Written Exams

Unauthorised Items in the Exams Room

Warning to Candidates

Using Calculators in Exams - FAQs

 

Non-Exam Assessments/Coursework:

Please email our Examinations Officer, Mr Morris (omorris@corsham.wilts.sch.uk), if you have any questions relating to any of the above information or if anything in it is at all unclear.

Please email Mr Morris or Miss Jackson, who will check if the school still has copies of your exam certificates and advise accordingly.  If the school does still have copies of your certificates, then the options for collection will be the same as those listed above.

Lost Certificates

Each Exam Board has a different system for dealing with lost certificates. You should not assume that you will be able to buy replacements, so please keep them safe!  Any applications for replacements must be made by the candidate and cannot be made by the school on the candidate’s behalf.

It is becoming increasingly important that you keep your original certificates safe to show future further education establishments or future employers.  We can provide you with a letter (on headed paper) confirming your grades and signed by a member of the Examinations Team.  This may satisfy an employer who has asked for confirmation of your results.
