Results not collected on the Result days will remain in school. If a student wishes for someone to collect on their behalf, students must inform the Exams officer via exams@stroodacademy.org by 16th August 2023. This must be the student not the parent. 

The request may not be processed if received after this date. 

Results will not be given out by telephone or emailed. 

Statement of Results 

On results day you will receive a ‘Statement of Results’. THIS IS NOT YOUR FINAL CERTIFICATE. The statement lists ALL the exams you have taken and any components within the qualification. 

You will receive an overall results sheet, and then an overall results sheet per examination board. 

Post Results Service Information 

• CLERICAL RE-CHECK (Service 1)
  A post results service to check all clerical procedures were carried out, such as all pages were marked, all marks were counted and the result matches the marks on the paper.
• REVIEWS OF MARKING (Service 2)
  This is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. It is not a re-marking of a candidate’s script. Students may request to have their exam paper reviewed but they must be aware that there are three possible outcomes; the mark stays the same, the mark is raised or the mark is lowered.
  A priority review of marking service (Service 2P) is available for GCSE Maths and English Language and GCE A-level candidates whose place in higher education is dependent on the outcome. Awarding bodies aim to complete a priority service within 15 calendar days of receipt of the application.
  Students should seek advice from their Academy staff before proceeding with any Post results request
• ACCESS TO SCRIPTS
  A student may request a script to assist in deciding on whether or not to proceed with a review of marking. In this instance, a priority copy is required.
  Should a student wish to request a copy for revision/information only, then they can do so. Once a non-priority script has been requested, a review of marking may no longer be accessible from some awarding bodies.
• APPLICATION FORMS AND FEES
  Post results application forms will be available upon request by contacting exam@stroodacademy.org
  All applications must be signed by the candidate, as requests cannot be processed without the candidate’s written consent.
  All post results services incur a fee and are subject to strict deadlines, which must be adhered to. Please note: applications will not be processed without the appropriate fee.
  Guidance on deadlines and Exam board fees are in the provided links and can we obtained from emailing: exams@stroodacademy.org
