Post Results Services 2024

If you have a query with your results, the awarding bodies offer the following Review of Results services:

Review of Marking

  • Includes a clerical re-check to ensure all marks are counted and recorded correctly
  • Your grade can go down as well as up.
  • Requests will only be processed upon receipt of a completed consent form and full payment as outlined below.
  • The outcome will be available within 20 calendar days of the awarding body receiving the request and will be emailed to the candidate via their school e-mail address.

 

Priority Review:  only available if an A-level candidate’s University place is dependent on the outcome.
  • The fee for this service is £66 per paper, not subject, payable via ParentPay (Select “Exams – post-results service: PRIORITY review of marking”).

Review of Marking Form 
Access to script

You can request a copy of the marked script prior to a review of marking or clerical re-check by completing the cream Access to Scripts – Candidate consent form and returning it to the Exams Office. This is free of charge but can take up to 2 weeks depending on the board and paper, so is not advisable if your next step destination depends on the outcome of a Review of Marking.

Access to Script Form

Clerical re-check
  • This is a check by the awarding body that they have counted all marks correctly. It will not look at the accuracy of the marking.
  • This service is available for externally assessed written components and takes up to 10 calendar days.
  • Your grade can go down as well as up.
  • Candidate consent is required.  Students must complete and return the blue Post-results - Candidate consent form to the Exams Office.
  • The fee for this service is £12 per paper, not subject, made payable via ParentPay (Select “Exams – post-results service: clerical re-check”).
  • The deadline for requests is Monday 23 September 2024 at noon.

If you have any queries please email the Exams Office: exams@northleamington.co.uk

 

When can I get my exam certificates?

At the end of November/start of December, GCSE and A level certificates will either be

  • posted to students who are no longer in school, at the address held on our system*, or
  • handed to students who are still in school.

*if you have changed address, please email the new address to exams@northleamington.co.uk

Students who have sat examinations during Years 10 or 12 will get these certificates at the same time.

Exam Information

Exams are run in line with JCQ regulations to ensure the integrity and security of the examination/assessment system is always maintained and not brought into disrepute.

Candidates are informed of these regulations during assemblies, tutor time and through correspondence, and they sign a form in school to confirm they have read and understood them.

All the documents are available below:

NLS Instructions for Exam Candidates 

JCQ Information for Candidates

JCQ Exam Room Posters

JCQ Guidance For Parent/Carers and Students About Access Arrangements

Guide to Exam Access Arrangements

What to do if your child cannot attend an exam or experiences difficulties

In the unlikely event there is a situation where a student cannot attend an exam or is experiencing difficulties then we ask:

  • Parents/Carers to phone into school before 8:30am if a student is unable to attend on the day explaining the reason why. 
  • Where a student is able to attend exams but is impacted by something such as injury, family bereavement etc please inform the exams team as soon as possible by emailing exams@northleamington.co.uk.

The Exams team will then be in touch to discuss how we can support and to liaise regarding any paperwork and evidence that would be needed if it was appropriate to make a request for special consideration to the awarding body, in line with the guidance. 

The awarding of special consideration for circumstances at the time of the assessment is at the discretion of the awarding body, in line with the JCQ Guidance for Special Consideration and only goes a small way to compensating for any situation rather than replicating necessarily the student’s full capability. Wherever possible it is usually in the best interest of a student to sit the examination.

All examinations measure what a student knows and can do at the time of the assessment, and awarding bodies do not consider longer term circumstances that may have prevented a student from reaching the standards they may otherwise have done.
