The kids will talk about it at school. Nobody really is going to believe your DD when she says she isn't going to open the letter for another week. They will assume she's trying to save face.
I would expect a lot of parents and children alike will be trying to 'save face' come results day. Considering a very small fraction actually pass. DD's class had only 4/5 not sit the exam and with statistics showing only 1 in 4 pass, I'm sure she won't be the only one not revealing a result.

I think that's a good way to do it if it works for you. Personally I want to cut down on the number of school open days to visit ASAP.


Yes, agreed!
I think it's been a good idea from the Grammar schools to not have their open days until after the results are out. Unsure if that's the norm? Saves the extra disappointment if you or your DC have your heart set on a particular GS after viewing.
