Results Day 2026: Everything You Need to Know
After months of hard work, revision, coursework and exams, the moment you've been waiting for is almost here.
On Thursday 13th August 2026, students across East Sussex College's Eastbourne, Hastings and Lewes campuses will receive their A-Level, T-Level, and Technical & Professional qualification results – and we'd love you to celebrate the occasion with us.
From 9:00am until 12:00 noon, you're invited to collect your results in person on campus, catch up with friends, celebrate with your tutors and speak to staff about your next steps.
There'll be pastries, refreshments and plenty of reasons to celebrate, with confetti cannons, photo opportunities and a fantastic atmosphere across all three campuses. Whether you're heading to university, starting an apprenticeship, moving into employment or planning your next step, Results Day is a chance to look back on everything you've achieved and celebrate the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Last year's students described the day as the start of incredible new journeys.
After achieving three A grades in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, Abdul-Waheed Khan said: "I managed to get three As! It was a pleasant surprise, so I'm very happy. Next up, I'm potentially going to university to study data science now I've got the grades to go forward with it."
Following her Merit in T-Level Education & Early Years, Lily Mae Dengate said: "I wanted to pass so I'm happy with my results... I received my place at the University of Brighton for Primary Education. I'd recommend the course if you're willing to put in the work. It's worth it in the end."
This year, we hope to celebrate many more success stories.
We’ll be on campus throughout the morning speaking with students about their achievements, experiences and future plans. If you'd be happy to share your story, you could even feature on our website, social media channels or in local media.
Common Results Day Questions
“When can I collect my results?”
Results can be collected from your campus between 9am and 12:00 noon on Thursday 13th August.
“Can I speak to someone if I don’t get the grades I was expecting?”
Absolutely. Our careers advisors will be available throughout the morning to offer advice and guidance on university places, apprenticeships, Clearing, and employment opportunities. They can help you and answer any questions you may have about your results if you didn’t get the grades you were expecting - both lower or higher!
“What if I can't make it in person?”
If you're unable to attend campus, your results will also be emailed from 8:30am on Thursday 13th August. Due to high volumes, some emails may take a little longer to arrive, so please don't worry if yours isn't immediate.
Please bear with the Exams Team on Results Day morning, as they'll be responding to a high volume of enquiries.
“When will I receive my certificates?”
Certificates for A-Levels, Technical qualifications and T-Levels will be issued by the awarding bodies and posted by the Exams Office in late October or early November. Please make sure your contact details are up to date to avoid delays.
