Public Examination Grade Boundary Information

Grade boundary information will be publicly available on exam board websites from results day:

What can students do if their results are significantly different from expectations?

We recognise that results day can bring a range of emotions, and that examination outcomes may sometimes be different from what students had hoped or anticipated. Exams reflect performance on the day, and there can be many reasons why results may vary from expectations.

If a student has concerns about a result, we recommend that they contact the Head of Department for the relevant subject before contacting the Exams Office to request a review of results. In many cases, obtaining a copy of the exam script can be a helpful first step in understanding the mark awarded and deciding whether a review is appropriate.

Any review of results carries a fee, which must be paid by the student/parent or carer, and students should carefully consider the guidance provided before proceeding. Where there are genuine concerns about the accuracy of a result, The Willink will support students through the appropriate post-results process.
