Pupils nervously await exam results

Postmen and women throughout the country are pulling out the stops to deliver the certificates as quickly as possible Royal Mail has been successfully delivering the exam certificates on behalf of the SQA for several years

Around 150,000 certificates will be dropping through the letterboxes of pupils all across Scotland.

Derek Keir, Head of Special Events Planning, said: “Our people pull out all the stops to ensure the results are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible as we know that this is a very important day for every pupil in Scotland awaiting results.

“Royal Mail is used to handling large mailings, we have already, this year, successfully delivered mailings for the general election. We have worked successfully with the SQA on exam result delivery for many years now and we are delighted to be playing our part in this special day once again.”

Every year Royal Mail works closely with the SQA in the build up to the results day to ensure the delivery of results runs smoothly. Special Royal Mail planning teams have been working for many months to ensure that pupils get their results.
