For students, teachers and parents across the country, GCSE results day has come around once again. <\/p>\n

The day marks a nail-biting finale to several years of cumulative study and will help teenagers decide their next exciting steps.<\/p>\n

This year the results have been released a couple of weeks earlier than normal in order to allow A-level students time to appeal their grades before university admissions.<\/p>\n

Last year, the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic lead to a scandal that saw students miss out on desired university places.<\/p>\n

The Government are leaving nothing to last minute this time around; they're giving all students plenty of opportunity to process and appeal their grades if necessary.<\/p>\n

When are GCSE results released?<\/h3>\n

GCSE students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will get their official results on August 12, 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Scotland, National 5 results were planned to be available from August 10.<\/p>\n

In previous years, results were made available from 8am but your school will be able to confirm the time that they will be releasing results.<\/p>\n

They'll also let you know if you should collect your results in person or if you should wait for them to arrive in the post. <\/p>\n

How have GCSE grades been calculated?<\/h3>\n

2021 exams were cancelled for the second year running following the widespread disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. <\/p>\n

Learning was left on standby and exams were brought to a halt.<\/p>\n
