Exam Results Day
Exam results day at PCS will be on Thursday 22nd August.
Students will be able to come into school to collect their results between 10am and 2pm.
If a student is unable to collect their results themselves and would like someone to collect them on their behalf, the student must write and sign a letter permitting them to do so.
This letter can either be dropped into PCS before results day or brought in on the day, and this person must bring photo ID with them. However, this will not be necessary if they are a PCS student.
Any results that are not collected will be posted first class at the end of the day to the student's home address that we have on our system.
