Teenagers can access GCSE results online for the first time on the Education Record app
Students can access GCSE results online for the first time in 2026 thanks to a new education app.
Students can still traditionally collect results from their school tomorrow morning, and timings may vary depending on the school. This year, students can access grades through the Education Record app, after a trial involving 95,000 students in Manchester and the West Midlands last summer.
The Mirror reports the app offers a digital record for future use when applying for further education or employment and will be updated on results day.
What time are GCSE results released in schools?
GCSE results will be available to students by schools from 8am on Thursday, however timings can depend on the school and what the teachers have decided. Individual schools set their own collection arrangements and will inform students what time they should arrive on site to pick up their envelopes.
Are GCSE results released online?
For the first time this year many GCSE students will be able to see their results online on the Education Record App. Results will update online on the Education Record app at 11am.
The Department of Education announced the £30m app in January. Schools using the app need to provide a QR code to students to link to their record.
What happens if you can’t collect your GCSE results on Thursday?
If students are ill, on holiday or unable to visit the school, they can typically arrange in advance to receive their results by email or post. Emails will generally arrive on results day but grades sent through post could take a bit longer.
The process will depend on the school. Students may also be able to nominate someone else to collect their results, just make the person brings a signed letter and photo ID.
