Students are welcome to collect their exam results in the main school hall on results day up until 12.00pm. Staff will be available to talk through exam results and to support students with sixth form enquiries, university and college applications, including clearing services.

Results can also be delivered by email, post and/or telephone. For students who wish their results to be collected by another person (including family members) or sent to another person’s email account, we will require their permission to authorise this, please contact school if this is the case.

Review of marking and appeals processes:

Should a student have concerns over their results they are entitled to apply for a range of ‘Post-Results Services’. These services include:
- Clerical re-checks
- Reviews of marking
- Reviews of moderation
- Access to scripts

Further details on post-results services can be found here: JCQ Post-Results Services booklet 2024 N.B. This document above refers to the 2024 exam series.

The Appeals process follows the application of the post results services, including a review of marking. Appeals are used where there is a concern that the outcome of a post-results service, including a review of marking is disputed. Appeals can only be submitted by the school, on the candidate’s behalf. As in a review of marking, marks can go up, stay the same, or go down in the appeals process.

Further details on the appeals process can be found here: JCQ Appeals booklet 2024 N.B. This document above refers to the 2022 exam series; we will update this document with the most recent version when it becomes available.

Conduct of the examinations

Exams are conducted according to strict rules. These rules can be found here: JCQ Instructions for Conducting Examinations 2023-24

Students should arrive 15 minutes prior to the advertised start time of the exams.
Students with access arrangements e.g. access to laptops/ reader/scribe, additional time, will be able to access this support during the mock exam period.
Students are required to be equipped with the correct materials for each exam including black pens, pencils, calculators (where permitted) and other drawing equipment e.g. compass. Pencil cases must be see through – there is no need to purchase such an item, a standard freezer bag would be perfectly adequate.
See through water bottles only – external labels removed where applicable – water only.
Phones, internet enabled devices and watches of any kind are not allowed in exams. Students who do not hand these in when requested to do so will be removed from exams. In the summer, this would lead to disqualification from the exam and may affect other exams if there is a serious breach of conduct.
Bags and coats will be deposited at the entrance of the exam hall and must not be taken to the allocated desk.
