Results Day – Tuesday 5th August
Students will receive their SQA results on Tuesday 5th August. Certificates will arrive in the post and, if your child has signed up for MySQA, they will also receive a text message or email to inform them of their results.
Students should not come into school on results day, as staff will not be available and the school site will still be closed for decant works.
SQA have prepared the document linked below (called ‘Your Results’) to support them in deciding whether an appeal is right for them, post results.
Your Results – SQA
Appeals Process 2025
The Appeals 2025 service will be the same as last year – students can request a marking review of their ‘SQA-marked assessment components’ (i.e. exam papers and assignments). Alternative assessment evidence, like prelims, will not be used in the process. The service will be free and available to all students. Whilst students will be able to appeal directly to SQA, we would advise that they appeal following a discussion with their teacher.
Appeals 2025 will include a priority service for students with conditional offers for further education, training or employment. To use this service you must have an existing offer (e.g. via UCAS) that you can share with SQA.
Should I appeal?
If you are considering an appeal for one of your grades, then you are advised to discuss it with your teacher. Whilst you can appeal directly, and no ‘evidence’ is sent by the school, you might want to know more about your ‘breakdown’ (marks) in the exam, and you should consider your performance over the last year before you make a decision.
You must also be aware that proceeding with an appeal can result in your grade going up, staying the same or – in a minority of cases – going down.
Dates for Appeals
Priority Appeals – to be submitted to SQA by
Tuesday 12 August at 11.59 pm for priority appeals
Tuesday 26 August at 11.59 pm for all other appeals
Please be aware if you register for an appeal yourself there are earlier deadlines – these are available via the SQA website.
Re-coursing
In some cases your results might mean you need to consider re-coursing. Further information will be distributed regarding this.
