The DfE have announced that summer 2021 results days will be later than usual due to the delayed start of the summer 2021 exams.

GCE results day: Tuesday 24 August

GCSE results day: Friday 27 August

Certificates must be collected in person and signed for at Reception after 1^st December (KS4) or after the presentation evening (KS5)

 It is very important to collect your certificates and look after them carefully, as you will need them in the future and replacements are very expensive and difficult to obtain. The Holt School is not obliged to retain certificates after a year and unclaimed certificates may be destroyed or returned to the exam board

Following the issue of results, awarding bodies make post-results services available.

A form detailing the services available, deadlines and fees for each awarding body will be included in the results envelope on results day. This form will also be available to download from Wisepay (Exam payment/ Post results services).

If you are concerned that your result may not be accurate, you should discuss this with your subject teacher or the senior member of staff who is available on results day.

The JCQ post-results services currently available are:

• Clerical re-check

This checks all pages have been marked, the total is correct and result matches

• Review of marking

A second examiner will review the paper again to identify genuine marking errors or unreasonable marking.

• Priority review of marking

This service is only available for externally assessed components of GCE A-level specifications (an individual awarding body may also offer this priority service for other qualifications)

• Review of moderation

This checks assessment criteria were applied fairly, reliably and consistently. This service is not available to an individual candidate

• Copies of scripts to support reviews of marking
• Copies of scripts to support teaching and learning
