Public Examinations – Results Days 2023
Examination results will be published by email after 8:30am on Thursday 17th August (for A Level, BTEC and CTEC qualifications) and after 8:30 on Thursday 24th August (for GCSE and Cambridge National qualifications).
The school will provide support to students following the publication of results. Further advice and guidance will be published along with results on the dates above by email to the students.
A-Level/BTEC/CTEC Results Day – Thursday 17th August
Each school in the Robert Carre Trust will email students after 8.30am a copy of all their examination results. Results from across the joint sixth form will be issued by a student’s base school.
It is vital that students are able to access their school email account and have not forgotten their password or allowed it to expire without changing it. Students are reminded that it is good practice to check access regularly from now, until results day. If a student cannot access their account, they will need to ask their parent or guardian to e-mail icthelp@robertcarretrust.uk from an e-mail address they have already registered with the school (the one they receive MCAS messages to). We are unable to respond to password reset requests from unknown e-mail addresses.
If a student has any queries regarding results Senior Staff and the Sixth Form team are available by appointment (via telephone and email) from 8.30am-12.30pm. Students may want to speak to their base school in the first instance and appointments are bookable to ensure the relevant member of staff is available to deal with your enquiry. Appeals regarding individual results will need to be made by the school which entered the student - the one where the student sat the examination; further information regarding appeals is available via the downloads on this page.
To book an appointment, please contact Mrs Phoenix (Sixth Form Administrator) on Lindsay.Phoenix@carres.uk or on 01529 302181.

Advance Information – Summer 2022
The exam boards have published advance information on the content of most GCSE, AS and A level exams in summer 2022 on their public websites. This is part of a package of support for students, including changes to non-exam assessment, providing formulae and equation sheets in some exams and more generous grading, to help make exams as fair as possible this year. There is advance information for all GCSE, AS and A level subjects, with the exceptions of art and design (because they do not have written exams) and GCSEs in English Literature, History, Ancient History and Geography, which have some optional topics or content instead.
The ‘advance information’ is subject by subject, specification by specification, specific outlines of the focus of questions across many of the summer exams. This link will take you to an overview of the support being provided for each qualification for students taking GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2022
Students will also get formulae sheets for GCSE maths exams and updated equation sheets for GCSE physics and combined science exams, so they won’t have to memorise as much.
As well as advance information and formulae sheets, students will be supported by generous grading, which will provide them with a safety-net to protect them from just missing out on a grade.
