GCSE Exam Results 2024

Enquires About Results (EARS) 

Whilst Little Ilford makes all efforts to check through examination results and identifying anomalies that might need further investigation, the onus still remains on the candidate to initiate the process of review of marking. Indeed, regulations prohibit the school from submitting a review of marking request without first obtaining the permission of the candidate themselves. 

Review of Marking

If you are very close to a grade boundary, it may be worth requesting a review of marking. There are two enquiry options:  

1. A clerical re-check – This process entails checking for mistakes in the administrative process. 
2. A review of marking of the script – This process entails an experienced examiner to recheck the marking carried out of the candidate’s exam paper (script) and determine if the marking was carried out accurately.  A new result will then be submitted.

It is important to note that if you request a review of marking, the new result will stand – even if it is lower than the original result. You will be required to sign a form to say that you understand that your mark and possibly grade can go down, go up or remain the same. 

N.B. Requesting a review of marking does not mean that your examination script is returned. 

Candidates with concerns regarding their exam results should discuss and seek advice from their parents/carers and relevant Heads of Department. Should you decide to go ahead with a review of marking, please complete a review of marking request form. The cost of the review of marking will vary depending on the subjects and type of paper.  All information is attached.

If an enquiry is to be made, then the school must handle all requests to exam boards. Exam Boards will not deal directly with candidates or parents.

Enquiries must be realistic 

Please have a look carefully at your overall marks and grade boundaries published by exam boards before submitting any remarks. The chance of grades changing diminishes with distance from a particular grade boundary. That is, if your overall marks from all examined units is not close to the published grade boundary, then the chance of grade amendment is minimal and requesting a remark is unrealistic and a waste of money.

Deadlines 

The review of marking deadline is Friday 16th September 2022.  Requests will NOT be accepted after this date.

All post result service (EAR) must be requested through the Exams Office.  Failure to submit your request through the correct route may result in your remark not being processed. No EAR can be processed without a signature. 

All candidates must sign the enclosed declaration.  No remarks will be accepted without this.

Checklist before handing in EAR’s

• Ensure all information on the EAR form has been completed
• Attached a signed copy of the declaration confirming that you understand that the mark may go up as well as down
• Ensure that you have checked the review of marking with the relevant Head of Department
• When asked to do so, make the payment via ParentMail to cover the cost of the review of marking
