Results Day

Now that results day is here, we hope that the awarded grades provide you (or your son/daughter) with the opportunity to be successful in the next steps of your education, employment or training. If you need to discuss your options for next year, do speak to a member of staff on results day. They will be happy to assist you.

After every results day. All awarding bodies offer a number of different Post-results Services. 

If you have a University place pending, you can request a priority review of marking and a priority copy of marked papers.

If you do not have a University place pending, you can request a copy of marked papers, a clerical re-check or a review of marking.

There is no grade protection for review of marking. This means that your marks and subject grades may be lowered, confirmed or raised as a result of the review.

Not sure which Post-Results Service you require?

Access to Scripts (Service ATS)
