GCSE Results Day 2024 | Important Information12/08/2024

Collection of exam results: Following previous positive feedback, the morning is structured to ensure results can be collected in a calm and supportive environment. Each Year 11 tutor group has a dedicated time and place to collect their exam results. Please refer to the attached table for the details of timings for each tutor group.

Anyone unable to attend will be able to view their results electronically using their Exams Assist account from 12pm on Thursday 22nd August 2024. Please ensure that your child can access their Exams Assist account before the end of the term.

All Year 11 pupils will be asked to complete a ‘Destinations and Declarations’ form, which records statutory information that the Department for Education (DfE) requires the school to collect. This form must be completed at the time of collecting results.

Sixth Form places: All Year 11 pupils who have applied to The Cottesloe School Sixth Form will receive further information in their results envelope about the next steps to confirm their place in Year 12 for September 2024. They may be asked to speak to a member of the 6th Form team to discuss their Key Stage 5 choices.

Post-results services: Attached to this letter is information regarding post-results services and access to scripts. We believe that it is important for all parents/carers to be aware of these options in preparation for the day itself. Please see the attached table for an indication of the services available and the cost of each one.

In addition, the school has committed to financially support a review of marking for pupils within one mark of a higher grade. In this instance, the school will request (with candidate consent) to view each paper for the relevant qualification. The Curriculum Leader will then decide which one paper/unit would have the most likely chance of achieving more marks if the marking were to be reviewed. The school will then submit and fund a review of marking and inform the candidate if it is successful. If parents/carers wish to submit additional papers for a review of marking, then the school can facilitate this but will not be able to support it financially.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

Yours sincerely
Mr A Passaro (Assistant Headteacher – School Improvement) and Mr G Magill (Head of Year 11)
