Examinations
We endeavour to keep the website regularly updated with general examination information to keep you informed of upcoming examinations and any changes at a national level. At BRGS, we recognise the importance of parental support and involvement, particularly during the examination process and hope the information provided is useful.

A-level results available in person from 08:30am on Thursday 18th August 2022

Please note if you are unable to make either of these days and wish someone to pick up results on your behalf you will need to give a signed letter to the exams office (or email from your registered brgsmail account) before the end of the summer term (Friday 19th July).

Review of Results
Results days are stressful times and with some students having a place a university hanging in the balance, it is important to know what to do if you have concerns regarding the results. The school is able to offer several post results services on results days and in the time after to support you. Some of these services are time dependent so please make note of the deadline dates. The costs vary between GCSE and A-level so please click on the links below for the relevant information, application form and prices.

There are a number of services available for reviews of results some of which are only available for A-level and some for GCSE.
Service Level Deadline
1 Priority review ** 25-Aug
2 Priority review with photocopy ** 25-Aug
3 Priority access to scripts 1-Sep (GCE)
8-Sep (GCSE)
** A Level only
If you have a University place pending your A-level results then you need a priority review. You only have a week to apply. These can take up to 15 calendar days but awarding bodies aim to complete these before the end of August and usually arrive before then. Applications can be made on Results Day via the exams office.
Should you be unsure of whether to have a review of marking then service 3 allows you get a copy of your script, the copies should be back at school by the 5th September but usually arrive before then. This gives you time to decide whether you want a review of marking before the 29th September deadline.
Service Level Deadline
4 Review of marking 29-Sep
5 Review of marking with copy of script 29-Sep
This is just a standard review where time is not of the essence. Be aware that grades can go down as well as up so it is important to discuss this option with your subject teacher, especially if you are near a grade boundary. Awarding bodies have 20 calendar days to complete these reviews.
Service Level Deadline
6 Clerical re-check 29-Sep
7 Clerical re-check with copy of script 29-Sep
This is not a review of your exam paper but is checked to ensure that all questions have been marked, all marks have been added up and totalled correctly. Awarding bodies have 10 calendar days to complete these checks.
Service Level Deadline
8 Non-priority access to scripts (original) 29-Sep
Do not ask for your original exam paper back if you are considering any kind of appeal about your results. This option is only for students who wish to learn from their exam paper.
All of these services are available both on and after results days but do double check the opening times of the exams office during the holiday. Application forms for these services and costs are hyperlinked in the first paragraph of this section.
If you are unsure which service you would like then the links below may help you decide, alternatively get in contact with the exams office who will be happy to help you.
