Exam results due today for Orkney pupils

Over 500 exam result certificates will be dropping through the letter boxes of pupils in Orkney today, Tuesday.

Royal Mail is delivering thousands of exam results on behalf of the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) across Scotland with postmen and women all over the country pulling out all the stops to ensure the eagerly awaited results arrive as quickly as possible.

Cathy Way, Royal Mail logistics director said: “This is a massive day for every pupil in Scotland, waiting for their results. All of our people, many of whom have children themselves, understand just how important this day is for families. Our people pull out all the stops to ensure the results are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible.

“Royal Mail is used to handling large mailings and 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.”
