A system of Calculated Grades was put in place by my predecessor due to the inability to run the normal Leaving Certificate examinations. The purpose of this process is to allow as many students as possible to progress to employment, further education and training, or higher education in a way that is fair and equitable to all Leaving Certificate students.

The results of the Calculated Grades will issue on Monday 7 September which, given the need for robust quality assurance procedures, is as close to the traditional date of release of Leaving Certificate results as is achievable. The means by which the results will be communicated to the students will be discussed with education stakeholders over the coming weeks and will be advised to students in advance.
