Review of Results
If the Academy is not happy with any of your final subject grades, usually if you are 2/3 marks off the next grade boundary, the Academy will request from the Exam Board a re-mark at the Academy’s expense.
If you as a student or your parent/carer are not happy with your final subject grade you have the right to request a re-mark. This request must be made in writing to The Principal at the Academy as early as possible after results day and no later than 1 September. There would be a charge of approximately £46 per paper for this.
Following a review, grades can either
a) stay the same
b) go up to a higher grade
c) go down to a lower grade
All students are asked to sign a consent form should a review be requested.
You will be informed in writing of the outcome of the review by mid-October at the latest, usually earlier.
Access to Scripts
If you wish to have access to any of your scripts then this request must be made in writing stating which script is required no later than 1 September.
Appeals
After receiving the outcome of any review and you or your parent/carer are still not happy then you can appeal. This must be done in writing to The Principal at the Academy within 7 days following receipt of any review outcome.
Appeals must clearly state the grounds for appeal.
Appeals do not generally involve further reviews of marking students’ work.
Awarding bodies may charge a fee for appeals. This fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld.

| Summer 2024 contingency days There are three contingency sessions for the summer 2024 exams series and it is important that your students are aware of these, especially the full day on 26 June 2024. The contingency sessions are on: afternoon of 6 June afternoon of 13 June full day 26 June. These are in place to allow resilience in the exam timetable. They will help ensure that the exam series runs smoothly in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams. These days will only be used if there is an announcement that centres are required to use them. It is important that students are reminded that they must remain available for exams until 26 June 2024 should an event arise. |
