GCSE Results Collection - For 2026 Leavers Only

All students are to collect their GCSE results on Thursday 20th August from the school sports hall at 09:30. 

Only students themselves can collect their results. Friends/family cannot collect on their behalf. However, if students cannot collect their results in person they can nominate their immediate parent/carer (not an extended relation or friend) to collect on their behalf. This is done by the student writing a letter stating who is collect their results. That person must bring the letter and a form of ID to the school.

If students cannot collect their results in person or nominate someone, they can request their results to be emailed to them directly to their personal email address. They must email Mr Cordwell at sco@little-lever.bolton.sch.uk to request this from their personal email address and their results will be returned to them on the morning of results day. Results cannot be emailed to parents/carers, just the student themselves.

After that date students can contact the school to arrange a collection of their practical work or portfolios. Work is stored in school until 31st January 2027. After this date, uncollected work is disposed of or kept by the school for display purposes.
