2024 Examinations - Information for Students and Parent

It is our aim to make the examination experience for all students at Northampton School for Girls as stress-free and successful as possible. Well-informed students understand that the rules and regulations, applied through the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) across schools nationally, are designed to ensure fairness and minimise disturbance to ensure that exams run smoothly.

Students and their parents may also find this “frequently asked questions” section useful as they prepare for their examinations.

Post results service and Appeals

The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) has a  published the process available for any student wishing to appeal their results this summer.

There is a two-step process in regard to appeals:

Stage one - involves a post-results service clerical re-check or a review of marking.

Stage two - appeals fall into three areas: 

• An appeal against results
• An appeal against malpractice decisions
• An appeal against decisions made in respect of access arrangements, reasonable adjustments and special consideration

Stage One must be completed before a Stage Two appeal will be considered by the awarding body.

It is important to note that both parts of the process, Stage One and Stage Two, must be made by the student through the school.

Appeals cannot be made directly to the exam board by an individual.
