GCSE and A-Level students are being asked to send in photographs and videos of their celebrations when results are emailed out.
A-Level results will go out on Thursday 13th August, with GCSE results being emailed out a week later on Thursday 20th August.
Annual in-school results day celebrations have been cancelled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but students are being encouraged to share their lockdown celebrations by sending in photographs and videos for the school website and newspaper.
Mr D Treble, Head of Upper School, said: “Given that students will receive their results via email, this will limit opportunities for photographs and videos, the anticipation of opening envelopes and the atmosphere of receiving results in front of peers, parents and staff.
“In light of this, we are encouraging students to video or photograph the opening of their results live. Members of family or friends can be present for this and share in the experience of results.”
All exams were cancelled this year due to the pandemic, but Highfields followed a rigorous moderation process involving teaching staff, heads of departments and members of the Senior Leadership Team before submitting Centre Assessed grades to exam boards. These grades were then subject to an external moderation.
Careers Advisors will be available in school for three days after each set of results, whilst dates have now been agreed for students wishing to to resit exams to improve their grades.
A-Level resits will take place from October 5th-24, whilst GCSE resits will take place from November 2nd-20th.
Celebration photographs and videos can be emailed to resultsday@hswv.co.uk
