sarahw Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Can anyone tell me the arrangements for GCSE results at Royal/Elmhurst /Tring? Specifically can you choose by phone/email as an option? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Few years since we received GCSE results but option was to phone on day or wait for results to be posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeh! We’re away when they come out so looks like we’ll have to wait til we get back! Really thought we could request an email! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 We had an email from WL 3 years ago. Drove to Hammond to collect last year. Tring this year and haven’t asked yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeh I was wondering how they did it at voc schools! As generally people live away from the school, then the email came today! We don’t have anyone that can call in! So we’re really hoping we could request an email! We’re out of the country so a phone call wouldn’t do either!!

Picturesinthefirelight Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I guess it’s going to be a day off work for me though I do appreciate I’m lucky to have that option. Dh dh is not allowed to drive at the moment but he may be ok to by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaMac Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 We rang from the airport as we had just landed in Ibiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 My daughter rang last year (around 10.00am) and they gave them to her over the phone (This was The Hammond). Think lots of people did this - it was agreed beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picturesinthefirelight Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I wonder if the change is due to GDPR & they are afraid of giving information to the wrong person. Is there anyone from the other schools with a current year 11 who can tell us what is happening this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletbean Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not quite Vocational but at a regular academic school, if a pupil can’t attend personally to receive their GCSE results ie holidays, the pupil provides the school a stamped addressed envelope for the results to be posted to them instead and at an address of choice. At least the results are in writing rather than over the phone which could cause some confusion Worth considering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I second that, results have never been available over the phone at the various state and private schools of which I have knowledge; in fact there has usually been an expectation that arrangements are made for each pupil to attend in person unless absolutely impossible. Obviously at a vocational school where many pupils board and may live some distance away that may have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 All of our results, O levels and A levels were sent by post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not very helpful to those living a distance away. I would have thought that it was relatively easy to have agreed a system of ensuring they are speaking to the right person, so that calls can be made on the day or even emailed to a pre agreed address. Let’s hope it gets sorted for those poor students and their families where it will have significant impact if they either have to travel or wait additional days for the post.

I’m lucky in that I live close enough though I will have to book a day off work as husband is not allowed to drive at the moment but it will be difficult for many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
