Post Results Services

Post Results Guidance

Post Results Services are provided by all the Examination Boards after issue of results. Services include

What is Access to Scripts (ATS)?

One or more of your teachers may ask if they can request a copy of your scripts to gain information about the marking and standards of the examination. We can only do this with your permission, and we would request that you complete an access to scripts form which we will provide.

Candidates can request access to their own scripts for general interest or to inform future learning, for example for re-sitting examinations. An access to scripts consent form must be signed and dated by the candidate.

Copies of scripts are free of charge.

All Access to Scripts consent forms must be completed and returned to the Exams Officer by Monday 22^nd September 2025.

What is a Clerical Re-check?

A re-check of all clerical procedures leading to the issue of a result. For example, checking that all parts of the script have been marked, and that the totalling and recording of marks is correct.

A clerical re-check can only be requested by the school and are only forwarded upon staff recommendation. In this case, the fees will be paid for by the school.

If a clerical check is not recommended by the school but you still wish to request it, but this will need to be paid for by the student / parent or carer.

The deadline for requesting a Clerical Check is Monday 22^nd September 2025. The clerical re-check & review of marking form can be found here.

What is a Review of Marking?

A review of marking is to ensure the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly and to carry out clerical checks. It is NOT a re-marking of the script. This service is only available to externally assessed components, for example, external Examination Papers, not coursework.

In the event of the school requesting a review of marking, we would need your permission, and you would need to sign a review of marking form and return it to the Exams Officer asap.

**GCSEs Only - The school will only initiate and pay for a review of marking if the student achieved a grade lower than their predicted grade and is only 1 or 2 marks away from the grade above the grade they were awarded. (For English Language, English Literature and Mathematics only).

Students can request a review of marking for any other subject however this will need to be paid for by the student / parent before it can be processed with the exam board.

The deadline for requesting a Review of Marking is Monday 22^nd September 2025. The clerical re-check & review of marking form can be found here.

Priority Reviews of Marking & Access to Scripts

Priority Review of Marking & Access to Scripts can only be requested for students whose grade is dependent on a university placement.

*Priority Review of Marking – Thursday 21st August

*Priority Access to Scripts – Thursday 21st August

Students (not parents) need to consent and payment must be made before the school will make any enquiries about results (unless the school have initiated the enquiry). In giving consent you (the student) acknowledge that you understood that your final subject grade awarded may be lower than, higher than or the same as the grade which was originally awarded.

Although the Examinations Officer can advise regarding the above services from an administrative viewpoint, it is usual for students and/or parents to contact their subject teacher or head of department for specific help and advice as to whether one or more of the services should be accessed.
