Summer 2021 Appeals

Visit a special page on our website that provides information and support on the summer 2021 appeals process for all centres following our UK and international academic qualifications.

UK qualifications (GCSE and A level)

You'll see that it features a direct link to the JCQ guidance as well as a linked video to explain the appeals process. It also includes a useful chart for GCSE and A level qualifications showing the different steps:

•  Before and after grades submission
•  What to do from Results Day onward
   

International qualifications

Specific support is provided for our International GCSE and IAL/IAS qualifications too with information on our appeals approach. It outlines some of the key differences to the approach adopted for GCSE an A levels:

• potential aggregation of UMS and linked ‘cash-in’ grading errors
• academic judgements linked to the use of ‘unseen assessments’
• no Ofqual exam procedure review service
   

Key dates
