Re: GCSE results date 2017
HBS requires you to go in person with your results in order to confirm your place. Students have to queue up for a form to copy out their results on and reconfirm their choice of A levels and then requeue with the form and the results. The form and results are checked against each other to make sure each is correct.
Any spare places are then up for grabs the next day when they hold an open morning for anyone who did not apply but has good results and wants to apply.
So I really would recommend anyone who has applied to be around and not be away or else they might return to find their place had been reallocated, DG

Re: GCSE results date 2017
The need be present does depend on the individual circumstances but unless it is incredibly important to be elsewhere it is a shame for them to miss the opportunity to collect in person. It is quite a 'thing' to do and share the experience with friends. There is a danger of it being rather can anti climax otherwise.

Re: GCSE results date 2017
It is the very last thing they do as a year group after five years together.
I can't imagine either of mine wanting to miss it though of course it depends on how well you think you have done.
Some students left by the back door last year so it was good that they had that option available to them. DG

Re: GCSE results date 2017
I agree collecting the results in person with all their friends is a big thing and we will make sure we are around when the results are released. I'm really glad RedVelvet asked the question, I was completely oblivious to what happens on the results day.
Would it be correct to assume that in terms of early GCSE results (i.e. maths taken this summer, the rest next year) it doesn't matter so much whether DS is there on the day, since it's not the 6th Form place issue yet? I will ring the school on Monday and ask, but if anyone could shed some light on this before then, I would be grateful.

Re: GCSE results date 2017
Usually Year 10 results are either posted [if they leave a stamped addressed envelope] or they get them on their return in September. Additional students on site who do not need to be there just make it more stressful for everyone - 180 students plus parents is quite enough!
I'm sure you'll be told what your school does with early entry results.

Thank you, Guest55, that's really helpful.

Re: GCSE results date 2017
At the two schools 'we' have been at they were allowed to collect results in year 10, but later in the day, once the year 11s had been through. It was much less of a 'thing' and many didn't go in.

Re: GCSE results date 2017
Thanks, KB. I can relate to your 'we', I think

Re: GCSE results date 2017
Thanks all, we're trying to tie things up with a non moveable event on the 21st. Will have a chat with school.
Re: GCSE results date 2017
I had to rearrange some flights rather hastily this week when I realised AS and A2 results are on the 18th. That seems so late to me that I hadn't even considered the possibility it would coincide with us actually being in transit. Butterflies and clammy hands just thinking about results days.
