Reviews of Centre Marks
Candidates may request a review of the centre’s marking of non-examination units in GCSE, GCE and Project qualifications (including coursework and controlled assessment). Candidates considering this option should discuss their results with the relevant teacher and/or Head of Department and may request copies of materials to assist them in making the decision. Requests for reviews must be made to the Exams Officer, using the form which can be downloaded here. Requests must be accompanied by payment of £30 per review to cover staffing and administrative costs. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Beaumont School’.
Please ensure that individual components (papers or units) are clearly identified and listed separately on the paperwork submitted.
The final deadline for any requests for reviews in qualifications to be awarded in summer 2018 is 25th April 2018*.
* Please note that this date does not apply to Art/Graphics or Photography because exam board submission deadlines are different for these subjects. The deadlines for these subjects are as follows:
- AQA GCSE Graphics and ‘A’ Level Photography students can be informed of their mark on the 21st or 22nd of May. The deadline for review is the 24th May for both of these subjects.

- Edexcel ‘A’ Level Art students can be informed of their mark on the 22nd of June. The deadline for review is the 25th June.
Please be aware that reviews can lead to marks going down as well as up. Further information about how we conduct reviews can be found in the Exams Procedure, which is available on the Policies page of the school website.
