Exam Results and Certificates

Results day - Thursday 20th August 2026

Results will be available to collect between 10am and 12pm. Students should report to the hall where they will be directed to their results collection point.

What if I cannot collect my results in person?

We cannot post out results but they can be collected from the academy on the dates and times above.

If a family member or close friend is collecting results on a student's behalf, the student must email exams@humberstonacademy.co.uk from their Academy IT (student portal) account to inform us. The student must give permission for someone else to collect their results on their behalf and give the name of who will be collecting the results within the email. The person collecting on the student's behalf must provide valid photo ID (i.e. Passport or driving licence) or results cannot be issued.

Alternatively, students can email exams@humberstonacademy.co.uk to make an alternative arrangement (i.e. if out of the country on holiday and wanting to arrange to have them emailed to their email address).

Certificates

GCSE (and equivalent qualifications) certificates are issued to the school during November. Students will be advised when the certificates are available to collect from the school.

Certificates may also only be collected by the candidate in person unless prior arrangement has been made with the Exams Officer. Certificates will not be given to a third party or posted to the candidate without prior consent as detailed above.

Post-Results Service

Senior members of staff will be available on results day should you wish to discuss your results. Decisions can then be made about the possibility of requesting a review of marking but this will be at a cost to the student. Prices can vary but start at £42 per paper.

Please see our Exam Policy section for more information.
