Results and Appeals

GCSE RESULTS INFORMATION

Grade Boundaries

You can find the grade boundaries on the relevant Exam Board Website by using the links in this document: 2026 Grade Boundaries [pdf]

Reviews of Marking

If you are concerned about your results and think there may have been a mistake with your grade you may want to submit a Review of Marking request to the Exam Board to:

- Verify that all questions are marked and that the total mark is correct
- Review the original marking to ensure the mark scheme has been applied correctly

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.

Details about how to submit and pay for such a request can be found here: PRS Info Sheet for Results Day 2026 [pdf]. A copy of this information will also be provided on your results slip. The deadline for requesting a Review of Marking is Friday 18 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 £5.00 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 £15.00). Details about how to submit and pay for such a request can be found here: PRS Info Sheet for Results Day 2026 [pdf].

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 £55.00 each.

If you do need to order replacement certificates the following information will help you with your request:

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]. Internal marks appeals must be made at the time marks are issued to students by their teachers.
