GCSE exams were cancelled again this summer , with lockdown continuing to have an impact on learning. GCSE pupils will receive their results on 12 August — two days after A-level students — with grades usually available from 8. This is a week or two earlier than usual, in order to give A-level pupils more time to appeal their results ahead of university admissions.
Pupils will be able to pick up their results in person from their school again this year, after the tradition was scrapped last year due to the pandemic. It should be no harder or easier to achieve a particular grade than it is in a normal year when examinations take place.
Teachers will base their assessments on a range of evidence, including coursework and mock exams. Adjustments lined up for next year include slimming down some of the subject areas to be tested and pushing back the dates of exams to increase lesson time. One innovation that looks unlikely to get off the ground is leaving certificates. If students don't get the grades they had hoped for or have failed to meet their conditional offers, they can apply for places through the clearing process instead.

The government has stated that every student in the UK has the right to appeal their GCSE results should they be unhappy.
They outline that the first stage of the appeal is to approach the school, expressing your desire to appeal. However, if the outcome of this is unsatisfactory, students can then ask their school or college to submit a formal appeal to the exam board for them.
If the exam board finds that the grade is incorrect, they will decide an alternative grade and inform your school of the changes.
