You will be able to collect these from 9am until 11am on the 24th August. You should come to the Broadway site via the main reception entrance into the Broadway Hall. There will be staff available if you need to discuss your results with someone. There will also be representatives from careers service and colleges if you need any support. Your results will not be available online. If you are unable to collect your results from school on results day then you have the following options:

You can nominate a person to collect your results for you. This can be a family member or friend. If you wish to nominate someone to collect your results you will need to give consent for them to collect on your behalf. You can do this by giving them a letter of consent or by emailing a.page@kingsway.stockport.sch.uk. The person collecting on your behalf will need to bring a form of photo ID with them.

If you would prefer to have your results emailed to you please send an email to a.page@kingsway.stockport.sch.uk from the email account to which they are to be sent. Please note that your school email account will no longer be active so you will need to use a different email account. If you choose this option we are unable to guarantee the time results will be emailed out but it will be after 1pm. Any results that have not been collected on the 24th August will be posted home later that day.

You can also find details of post results fees and forms on our website should you have queries after results day. We look forward to seeing you on the 24th August.
