A Level Results:

 Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs) for A Levels have now been submitted to the exam boards. The next step in the awarding process is for exam boards to ensure that we as a college have decided grades fairly and accurately, and in line with JCQ guidance. For reference, JCQ are the regulatory body that oversees all exam and qualification administration for all schools and colleges.

As part of the TAG process, the college were required to submit a Centre Policy to JCQ outlining our approach to awarding grades, and the evidence we have used to do this. You can find a copy of our policy here Centre Policy.

Your results will be sent to students via email on Tuesday 10^th August. Your results will be sent to both your personal and college email address and will also be available on SOLAR for you to view.

Guidance on the appeals process will be released with your results on Tuesday 10^th August. If you are unhappy with your grade, you will be able to appeal via the college free of charge should the grounds of your appeal meet the criteria outlined by OFQUAL.
