Frequently asked questions

When are GCSE results day and A-level results day in 2026?

A-level, AS and other Level 3 results were released on Thursday 13 August 2026. GCSE results day is Thursday 20 August 2026 — students can usually collect results from 8am, and national figures are published from 9:30am.

What are grade boundaries?

A grade boundary is the minimum mark needed for each grade. Boundaries are set after marking each summer, so they change every year to reflect the difficulty of that year's papers. Each exam board publishes its own boundaries on results morning.

Where do these figures come from?

National and regional results are from Ofqual's official 'Qualification results in England' release (Open Government Licence). Grade boundaries are from the exam boards' own published boundary documents. Figures for summer 2026 are provisional until final data is published in the autumn.

Do the subject tables cover every A-level subject?

Yes. The subject tables are built from JCQ's official joint results tables, which cover every subject across all UK exam boards (AQA, OCR, Pearson, WJEC and CCEA) for the UK as a whole. AS tables are included too, and GCSE follows on 20 August.
