Review of Marking
If you have any queries regarding your final grades, please e-mail our Exams & Data Manager Mrs Green - sgreen@winterhill.org.uk
All the exam boards offer a “Review of Marking” service. For a fee, the exam boards will review an exam to ensure that marks were allocated correctly. This can lead to a grade being lowered, confirmed or raised.
If a student is one mark away from the next key grade within a subject we may support a marking review.
If a student is more than one mark away from the next grade, in our experience, it is unlikely that their grade will change as the result or a marking review. If you would like to pursue a marking review for any subject where there is more than one mark needed to be gained to move a grade we are able to offer advice on how to do this. Please be aware that there is a cost to the service provided by the exam board that would need to be paid in advance. This fee is repayable if the grade awarded changes.

Certificates for leavers from 2023 and 2024 are available to collect. Please note: All certificates must be signed for.
Certificates can be collected from Main Reception. Photo I.D is required on collection & consent from the student if they cannot collect themselves will be required. Please note: Certificates will not be issued to a 3rd party without prior student's permission. to arrange third party collection please email sgreen@winterhill.org.uk.
Replacement Exam Certificates
If you have lost your original certificates, you may apply for a certifying statement of results, which is an official copy of the final exam results held by the awarding exam bodies. It is accepted by universities, colleges and employers as verification of results.
Depending on which examinations you took, you may need to contact each exam board. Below are links to the main exam board websites which will give you the information required to obtain replacement certificates and/or confirmation of results.
