Students who are unable to collect results
If any student is unable to collect their results in person, they may nominate a friend or relative to do so on their behalf at the times above. To nominate, the student will need to email exams@glynschool.org clarifying the name of the person collecting on their behalf and permission to do so. The nominee collecting the results, must bring a form of identification with them.
Please be aware, that if any student is unable to collect their results in person and have not nominated anyone to collect their results, the results will be emailed to the student’s Glyn school email at the end of the results day.
Post Results Services
Post Results Services
Any student who has concerns regarding their results should, in the first instance, discuss this with a member of the Senior Leadership Team or their teacher.
Once results are released, scripts (copies of completed/marked exam papers) can be requested pending a review of marking. There are charges for many of these services and awarding bodies impose very strict deadlines.
The Exams team will be available on results day and the following day if you wish to access any post-results services, alternatively you can email exams@glynschool.org within 3 days of the official release of results. The request for Post Result services must come from the student – not parents/guardians.
It is important to remember your marks and grades are not protected when you access the post-results services and therefore reviewed marks could be lower.
Service 1 – Clerical Re-check (DEADLINE 24 SEPTEMBER)
This request will trigger a re-check of all clerical procedures leading to the issue of a result to ensure that all parts of the script have been marked, the totalling of marks is correct, the recording of marks is correct. Marks/grades may be lowered as a result of a clerical check. You can ask for a copy of the script following this service. Target completion dates vary with each board (usually between 15 and 20 calendar days). This is the only service available for objective tests [multiple choice tests].
Service 2 – Review of Marking and Moderation (DEADLINE 24 SEPTEMBER)
The original marking is reviewed by another examiner and includes clerical re-check and review of marking to ensure the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. Marks/grades may be lowered as a result of a review. Copies of scripts can also be requested at the same time as a review. Target completion: within 30 calendar days of the awarding body receiving the request online.
Priority Service 2 – Priority Review of Marking (DEADLINE 20 AUGUST)
As Service 2 above but only for A level students where a place in higher education is dependent on the outcome. Target completion: within 15 calendar days of the awarding body receiving the request online. UCAS will be advised of any changes to Level 3 qualification grades.
Access to Scripts (DEADLINE 3 SEPTEMBER – PRIORITY SCRIPTS)
Copies of marked scripts/exam papers are available to help decide whether to request a Review of Marking. Scripts come to us electronically and can be available for download by us within hours. The Exams department cannot download scripts without permission from the student. Permission is to be emailed to exams@glynschool.org alternatively scripts can be requested via the Review of Marking form.
Post Results Fees [Costs are per module, component or script]
Please note that the fees apply for each paper which a student requests to have checked or reviewed. Therefore, if the GCSE or GCE consists of three exam papers and a student wishes to review the whole qualification, there will be an overall cost of three lots of fees.
Any student wishing to apply for a review must complete an application form which will be supplied on request from the Exams Office and must make the necessary payment. Please be aware, both the completed form and full payment must be received before the review application can be made.
Collecting Exam Certificates for Summer 2026
Exam Certificates
Exam certificates for Summer will be released to schools by the exam boards in late November. Certificates will be available to collect from Main reception from 01 December 2026. Reception is open between 8am and 4pm term time only.
Or alternatively we have a certificate collection day on.
- Tuesday 5 January 2027 between 10.00am and 12.00pm located in the Main Reception
If you are unable to collect your certificate in person, you can nominate someone to collect on your behalf. Permission will need to be emailed by the student to exams@glynschool.org. The nominee will need to bring photo ID on collection. The school is obliged to retain certificates for a year, so it is important that you collect these. To obtain replacements the Exam Boards charge a fee.
For students staying on with Glyn in the 6th form, certificates will be given out during Form time.
