GCE Results - Supporting Document Closing Dates

The tables to enter GCE AS/A Level & GCSE Examination Data open at 12noon on 5th November and will close at 10am on 24th July.

Applicants must upload or post photocopies of GCSE, AS and A Level certificates/statements of results produced by an examining board (i.e. they must show the exam board logo) to support their application.

We expect to collect the results of summer 2026 ‘A’ and ‘AS’ level British and Northern Ireland examinations electronically from examining authorities in August. In order to do this, applicants must enter their correct examination board, centre and candidate number in the GCE section of their CAO application.
