The email below was issued to all pupils who sat at least one SQA Exam during April & May 2025. You will also receive an SQA Certificate if you achieved any National 2-4 qualifications during the 2024/25 session.
Dear SQA Candidates,
Please find some important information below regarding your SQA Results.
SQA Results Day 2025
Your SQA Certificate will be delivered to your Home Address on Tuesday 5th August 2025. The SQA will send the certificate to the address the school holds for you.
If you have moved house or changed address, you must inform the school office as soon as possible and provide up to date address details. Otherwise, your certificate will go to the wrong address and you will have to pay SQA for a replacement.
We recommend you sign up to receive your results by text and email at MySQA.
Appeals
You have the right to appeal one or more of your exam results if you wish to do so. Appeals are free of charge and involve a review of the marking of your exam paper(s). Alternative evidence such as your prelim result, estimated grade or class test scores are not considered by SQA in the Appeals process.
Before results day, I will issue a Micrsoft form for you to register an appeal with us.
You do not need to call the school, attend school or make contact with any staff to appeal a grade. You should only use the form that I issue to register an appeal. If you contact the school office or your teacher, they will direct you to use the Microsoft form I will issue. School staff will not be available on Results Day to discuss your grades in person, but all queries will be dealt with by me if you submit a query via the forms.
If your university place for September 2025 is dependent on an appeal, this will be prioritised by SQA.
You can read more about SQA Appeals here.
Changes to school subjects following SQA Results
There will be an opportunity to make changes to school subjects based on SQA results if you do not achieve the grade you hoped for, or achieved a better grade than expected.
I will email a Microsoft form that you can use to request an options change. There will also be an opportunity for pupils to come in to school on Monday 18th August or Tuesday 19th August to discuss options changes in person. I will confirm the date/ time for this before SQA Results day.
Remember that some options changes or combinations will not be possible to the column structure, and that some SQA subjects are already full. This means that not all requested
options changes will be possible.
If you wish to change a subject, you must use the form I send you or come in to school in order to do this so that you can return to school on Wednesday 20th August 2025 with an accurate timetable.
Thank you,
Mrs Buchanan
