Public Examinations for Summer 2026 have now concluded
Results Day 2026
A Level, AS Level & L3 Vocational results - Thursday 13th August
GCSE, L1 & L2 Vocational results - Thursday 20th August
This Summer, examination results will be collected from the Upper School on Bexton Road. Please enter the school by the main reception on Bexton Road on the morning of results day. There will be subject staff and heads of year on hand for advice and support on future pathways available on these days. Enrolment into the sixth form will also take place on GCSE Results day (please see the letters below for more details).
If you cannot collect your results in person, there are a few options open to you. If you have registered for the government Education Record App, your GCSE results should appear on this from 11am. Alternatively, you could provide the Exams Office with a stamped addressed envelope and your results will be posted home, or you (the student) may nominate someone else to collect results on your behalf, please complete the reply slip in the letter below or e-mail kni@knutsfordacademy.org.uk at least one week prior to results day. The nominated person must bring the reply slip and some form of ID to collect your results.
Please note, no results will be given out by telephone or email under any circumstances.
Post Results Service 2026
We hope that your results are in line with your expectations but if there are serious grounds for concern about a result and you wish to query it, the exam boards offer three post results services. The exam boards charge for two of these services and there are strict deadlines for each. The deadlines and fees are all listed on the forms below.
The post results services offered are:
- Clerical re-check (fees apply)
- Review of Marking (fees apply)
- Access to Scripts (FREE)
Exam Certificates
Certificates for examinations this Summer 2026 will be issued by examination boards in November / December 2026, and a communication will be sent out from the Exams office at a later date regarding collecting certificates.
Current Students
If you have certificates for exam qualifications taken at Knutsford Academy/Cheshire Studio School last year, in Summer 2025, and you are a current Sixth Form student, please collect your certificates from Mrs Knight on reception or see the exams team in the Exams Office with your school ID badge. The exam certificates must be physically signed for.
Former Students
If you no longer attend Knutsford Academy, please arrange collection of your 2025 examination certificates. Certificates can be collected from the Bexton Road reception in person by the student between 9am-3pm, Monday - Friday during term time. They need to be physically signed for.
If you are not able to come to the school, you can nominate someone else to collect on your behalf. We do need to know this beforehand, so please see the attached letter below and complete the reply slip. Alternatively, email sqk@knutsfordacademy.org.uk with the full name of the person who will be collecting the certificates on your behalf.
Please ask the nominated person to bring the reply slip as well as a form of ID with them. They will then sign receipt of the certificates on the student’s behalf.
IMPORTANT:
You must look after your qualification certificates and store them in a safe place. These are the official documents that prove your results. You will need to show them to future employers when you apply for jobs and to educational establishments if you wish to take up further study in the future.
We cannot keep certificates in school for longer than one academic year and replacement certificates will cost you approximately £50.00 from each exam board. In the event a certificate is lost or damaged, you will need to approach the Awarding Body directly to obtain a replacement and they will make a charge for this service.
Mrs K Newitt is the Exams Officer for Knutsford Academy and can be contacted during term time via e-mail at kni@knutsfordacademy.org.uk
