Remarks/appeals

Should you feel that there are grounds to appeal any of your grades please email the Exams Officer on loe-exams@longeaton.derbyshire.sch.uk as soon as possible once you have received your results.  This will be considered by a member of the senior leadership team who will be able to respond and advise you of the relevant processes.  The deadline for reviews of marking is the 28^th September.

In some instances we may identify students who are close to a grade boundary and may benefit from having some or all of their exam papers re-marked.  In this instance students are required to sign an authorisation form and we will submit this to the exam board at the earliest possible opportunity.  Other examination remarks will be looked at on a case by case basis and may incur a charge.  Any queries around re-marks should be directed to the above email address.

For more information on next steps once students have received their results, they can also contact the National Exam Results Helpline, run by the National Careers Service. They can be called on 0800 100 900. Lines are open from 08:00 to 22:00, 7 days a week. Calls are free from landlines and most mobile numbers.

Certificates for all qualifications will be available for collection from Monday 11^th December 2023 from the main school reception
