How to appeal your grades on GCSE results day

GCSE (Organization)
  • Pupils in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will receive their GCSE and Level 2 vocational qualification results on Thursday, which are crucial for progression to further education or training.
  • England uses a numerical grading system (9-1), while Northern Ireland and Wales retain variations of the A*-G scale.
  • A government pilot will see over 95,000 GCSE students in England receive their results via the new EducationRecord app, in addition to traditional paper results.
  • Exam aids, such as formulae and equation sheets, have been provided in certain subjects since 2022 due to the impact of Covid-19 and will continue until 2027.
  • Students who are unhappy with their grades have options, including requesting a review or appeal, resitting exams, or discussing flexibility with their chosen educational institutions. Any student should discuss these options with their school or college.
