Examination information
Examination Results Arrangements Summer 2023
Year 11 students will have the opportunity to collect their examination results from the College in person, enabling them to share the experience with their friends. There will be the opportunity to speak with our Exams Officer and Senior Leadership Teams if there are any queries about the results.
Year 11 Students will be able to collect their results on Thursday 24 August between 10:00am and 11:30am from the front playground. In case of rain, this will be moved indoors.
If students are unable to collect their results in person and would like to nominate someone to collect on their behalf, the student must email lagrela@stcatherines.college from their college email account with the full name of their nominated person. That person will need to bring photographic ID with them. Please understand that, due to data protection, we will not be able to release the results to anybody other than the student if we do not receive this email request directly.
Around 8.30am on Thursday 24 August, all students will receive an email via their college email address with instructions on how to view their results on Arbor. They should download their ‘Statement of Results’ to pass onto their new college. This email will also contain guidance on the Post Results Service. Parents and carers will be able to view the results on the Arbor Parent Portal from 2pm on the same day.
The ‘Statement of Results’ that students receive will list all the exams taken, and it is very important that this is saved securely for the future as the College can only retain this information until the student is 25 years old.
It is also very important that you test your Arbor portal login as soon as possible. If you cannot access the site please contact the Year 11 Team before 20 July (the last day of term).
Post Results Services Summer 2023
After students receive their results, in very rare cases, parents/carers or students may query the results received. In this situation there is an external ‘Post Result Service’ which is outlined in the linked document below to help you understand the possible steps you can take.
Very occasionally teachers may wish to query a result, with the permission of the parent/carer and student. In these situations, the College will bear the cost of the review. Unfortunately, in all other situations the review service will be chargeable to the parent/carer and student in advance. The cost of the review is only refunded if the final qualification grade is changed, and not if only the mark is changed.
Please download and read the Post Results Service document carefully before submitting any requests.
Examinations for 2023-24
The provisional dates for the Summer Exam Series in 2024 will be added when they are nationally available.
In addition to the Summer Exam period, throughout the year students may have structured Internal or External Assessments and Unit Examinations for some qualifications. We will continue to update this page with upcoming dates as they are arranged, but it is important that parents and students understand that these dates could still change and that holiday plans should not made close to these dates.
