Hey! I actually have no idea how my school is doing it - for now the general response is 'let's see what boris says' which isn't the most helpful thing in the world. I'm guessing it's either going to be all online, or it's come into school while social distancing to pick up results. Praying I don't have to retake anything though! 😶

My school are letting us do social distance pick up :smile: I think that the government said that we’re not allowed to retake anything but allowed to appeal if we think a grade is inaccurate. :smile:
i am soo scared for results day

Yeah, we'll probably do that too. Huh? Retakes are in autumn, is what I heard...
I’m scared too. Hopefully we’ll be allowed in school to collect results as it’s more fulfilling in a way. I’m quite confident of my grades because of mocks and stuff but after seeing the thread on IBs...

‘There will be no appeals process’
‘Students will be able to appeal’
I’m honestly so baffled rn

You’re in year 10 and doing gcse exams already ?

What a sh*t school
My school is doing a socially distanced results day. We're lining up outside the school between a set time (I think between 10am and 1pm) and being let inside in small groups to get our results, then confirming which a level subjects we're doing with the teachers if we're staying on at sixth form and you've got the grades to get in. I guess your school might do something similar if it's a socially distanced pick up?

God, it's literally the same as 'don't go to work' but 'go to work if you can go to work' 😂😅
My school is not even risking social distancing
We are getting our results emailed to us and the actual physical papers will be posted through to us a few days later
Talk about over protective why not let a few of us in at a time

The appeals process is going to be so tricky. Basically you can't appeal if you think you deserved a higher grade, but you can appeal if you think someone accidentally submitted the wrong grade (eg. pressed 3 instead of 4 on the keyboard). Since we're being ranked, if you appeal to move up it means someone else has to move down. We're basically in a grading hunger games.

I think I understand
Students themselves will not be able to make appeals but you can request that the school makes the appeal on your behalf
Just an idea im not fully sure
