Results & Appeals
Internal Marks Appeals
If you are concerned about the marks you have been awarded for your Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) or Coursework, and think there may have been a mistake, you have the right to appeal. More information about the appeal process can be found in this guidance document [pdf].
GCSE Results Day 2024
*** Thursday 22 August 2024 ***
You are invited to collect your results from school so that you can celebrate your success with friends.
You can collect your results between 9.30am and 11.30am in the Open Learning Area. You must enter the school site via the Frant Road entrance as there will be some construction work happening in other areas of the school. If you are unable to collect your results in person we will be sending a copy of them to your school email address later in the day.
If you would like a family member to collect them instead then you must email exams@blatchingtonmill.org.uk from your school email address to give permission; you must do this before Tuesday 20th August.
Enquiries about Results
If you are concerned about your results and think there may have been a mistake it may be possible to submit a request to the Exam Board to:
- Check that your marks have been added-up correctly
- Review their marking of your paper to ensure it is fair and accurate.
It is extremely rare that grades actually change as a result of such requests and marks may go down as well as up. Therefore, we will only advise this course of action in certain circumstances such as:
- If your mark is very close to the top of the grade boundary.
- If your grade is preventing you from taking the next step in your education.
If you think there may have been a mistake with your grade you may want to consider having your paper checked or reviewed. More information about the different services, how much they cost and how to submit a request will be provided closer to results day. The deadline for requesting a Review of Marking is Friday 20th September.
If you need advice or have any questions please contact the Exams Team by emailing exams@blatchingtonmill.org.uk
Access to Scripts
After results have been published it is possible, in most cases, to request a copy of your examination scripts. There is a £5 admin fee for each exam paper you request (e.g. Maths GCSE has three papers so the cost for a copy of all of them would be £15). More details about how to submit and pay for such a request will be published closer to the time.
Certificates
Certificates for the Summer exam series will be ready for collection by the end of December. You will be contacted closer to the time with details of when and where this will take place.
We are only required to retain certificates for 1 year after results are published.
If we no longer have your certificates you will have to order new ones from the Awarding Bodies at a cost of approximately £45 each.
If you do need to order replacement certificates the following information will help you with your request:
