I have managed to book our holiday over results day and my dc school will not transmit results by any electronic means. They only allow a sae for the results to be sent home or to someone else. Is this common? I have heard that dc can access their results through their exam board. Anyone know anything about this and how to do it?

The problem for us is that we are not the only ones away - all other family is, too, though not together. The earliest someone else can see her results is the evening of 22nd and then txt to us. In a way I'd rather she waited til she got back but her friends results will be all over social media by then and she will feel even more left out.

It's always be this way. They have to be sent to say a grandparent. School forgot to post a set of ours so did say by phone. Way too stressful though.

Yes, that is what I was told by a teacher at a different school, but when i spoke to the exams officer she didn't seem to know about it. I need to try again. It seem ridiculous that they cannot log in to a secure school system to access their results.

I know students can get results for Edexcel via their ResultsPlus service, but the school needs to sign you up for an account - your DC would need to speak to the exams officer. I don't know if the other exam boards offer a similar service.
