Post results services
If you are not happy with your results, there are some options available.
- A clerical check
- A review of marking
- Access to scripts
The review of marking is not a remark of the script – the exam board checks that the mark scheme has been applied correctly and marks added up accurately.
If you request a review of marking, you need to be aware that the marks and subject grades can go down as well as go up or stay the same.
If you wish to submit a review, you must complete a form to consent to the application being made.
You will be required to pay the fee for a review of marking. The payment can be made through ParentPay or BACS.
Mrs Hobson will be available on results day to discuss your options.
Certificates for the Summer 2026 exam series will be available in December 2026 – an email will be sent out at this time with details of how to collect them.
