Everything you need to know about A Level results day

When will I receive my results?

For A Levels studied at The Sheffield Sixth Form, you will receive an email from 8am onwards on Thursday 13th August 2026. Results will be sent to your college email address and your personal email address if we have it.

Certificates will be posted to your home address once the college has received them from the awarding organisations.

If you’re expecting results from another school, college, or sixth form, please check with them directly and they will let you know how your results will be released.

If you have any questions about your results, please contact your tutor and they will be able to support you with your query.

What happens if I’ve got the grades I need?

Congratulations!
