2008 Enquiries into results

The services are outlined below; there is a charge for each service. These charges vary between examination boards. Enquiries about exam results will only be made once the correct payment has been made by cheque to ‘Coombe Girls’ School’.

• Service 1: Clerical re-check. This involves a total re-check to make sure that all parts of your papers have been marked and added up correctly. You must see Mrs Rendall by 19th September to apply for this service. It is available for the majority of examinations.

• Service 2: Re-mark. The paper is remarked by an examiner. Please note that if your grade was borderline, it would already have been checked by three different examiners and is unlikely to change. You must see Mrs Rendall by 19th September to apply for this service.

• Service 3: Coursework re-marking. This can only be requested by Coombe Staff.

• Access to original examination scripts. You can request to have your original exam scripts returned. There is a fee for this and you are unable to query the result once the paper has been requested. The deadline for requesting this service is 19th September.

It is possible for your grade to fall as well as rise or stay the same. Because of this candidates must sign a form requesting the examination results enquiry. It cannot be signed by anyone else on behalf of the candidate. All forms are available from Mrs Rendall or a member of the examinations team.

During the Summer holidays the examinations office will be open at the following times;
