Post Results Service
If you have concerns with your results, Exam Boards offer a chargeable post-results service, where access to question papers, mark schemes and Principal Examiner reports can be requested in order to help you understand why marks have been given. Some awarding bodies also offer a free 'Priority Access to Scripts' Service. Please bare in mind that grades can go up as well as down, should these services be accessed.
** Please note that the deadline for 2024 Post Results Services has passed
If you want to know how close you are to the next grade for a particular subject you can check the grade boundaries for each exam board on their websites using the links below.
Ideally you should only be a couple of marks away from the next grade to consider pursuing a Review of Marking given that there will be a minimum cost £40 per paper.

Students can request a priority copy of the marked exam paper, to decide if they want to go ahead with a Review of Marking application. Requesting access to scripts/papers is free.
If you wish to go ahead with this service, please complete the Access to Scripts Request form. A link to the form will be sent to students in a letter on Edulink, ahead of the GCSE Results Day.

Deadline: TBC
This is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. It is not a re-marking of the student’s examination paper. The awarding body will have trained its reviewers to conduct reviews of marking accurately and consistently.
This service will include:
- a clerical re-check
- a review of marking as described above
It is always advisable to get a copy first (ACCESS TO SCRIPTS) as reviews rarely result in an improved overall grade and sometimes result in lower marks. Do also check the grade boundaries as it is rare for marks to go up by more than 2 or 3.
If you wish to go ahead with this service, you will need the paper codes (not the specifcation code) - these were on the Component Results sheet that you were given when you collected your results.

REVIEW OF MARKING CHARGES AND FEES 2024
There is a fee payable for each paper reviewed. Charges for this service are payable in advance, BEFORE we will submit the request to the Exambaord. It will be added to the student's Scopay account once the form has been submitted. Students must therefore leave their Scopay accounts active. If the review of marking results in a grade change (not just a mark change), this will be refunded and the school will be in touch to arrange this.
The cost for a review of marking is on a per paper basis and differs across the Examboards. The charges and fees below are based on the June 2024 GCSEs and will be updated to June 2025 as soon as they are released by the Exam Boards:
| AQA: | £42 per paper, payable in advance |
| OCR: | £61.50 per paper, payable in advance |
| WJEC/Eduqas: | £40 per paper, payable in advance |
| Pearson/EDEXL: | £46.70 per paper, payable in advance |
