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.
