Hundreds of thousands of GCSE students across the UK are due to receive their results on Thursday, 20 August, with candidates able to access their grades from 8:00am. Schools and colleges, however, receive access to results before pupils.
Under Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) arrangements for the 2026 summer series, GCSE results files were made available to centres from 00:01 on Wednesday, 19 August, ahead of their release to candidates the following day.
