Exam policy - Results, enquiries about results (EARs) and access to scripts (ATS)

11.1 Results

Candidates will receive individual results slips on results days in person at the Academy.

Arrangements for the Academy to be open on results days are made by the Principal.

The provision of staff on results days is the responsibility of the Principal.

The Academy aggregates at the end of year 12 for AS grades.

11.2 EARs

EARs may be requested by centre staff or candidates if there are reasonable grounds for believing there has been an error in marking.

When the centre does not uphold an EAR, a candidate may apply to have an enquiry carried out. If a candidate requires this against the advice of subject staff, they will be charged.
(See section 5: Exam fees)

11.3 ATS

After the release of results, candidates may ask subject staff to request the return of papers within three days’ scrutiny of the results.

If a result is queried, the Qualifications Co-ordinator, teaching staff and Principal will investigate the feasibility of asking for a re-mark at the Academy’s expense.

Academy Curriculum Area Leaders may also request scripts for investigation or for teaching purposes. For the latter, the consent of candidates must be obtained.

GCSE re-marks cannot be applied for once a script has been returned.
