In recent years we have been able to consistently deliver results at the start of this published window.
This year, as there is just one results day (10 August), we’re receiving SQA, JCQ and many more boards (24 AOs in total) all at the same time, which presents challenges and risks for us all. We are committed to delivering a full set of results to you as soon as possible to give you the maximum timeframe for the confirmation process.
We’ve overhauled plans and timescales to accommodate this, but we also recognise that with the complexity this year a delay in any step of the plan will impact us and it is sensible (cautious) to consider a broader “window” for 2021 which is:
21:00, Wednesday 4 August to 12:00 (midday), Thursday 5 August.
We are confident that we will be able to release all results within this window and will keep you fully informed of our progress with twice daily checkpoint emails between Monday 2 and Wednesday 4 August.
