Students should attend school in person to collect their results from 9.30am. Due to ongoing building works, the collection point will now be at the OM - NOT the SC as previously advised.

Electronic results will be emailed to students at 10:30am on Thursday 20th August.
What is a Review of Marking?
A review of marking allows us to ask the exam board to check that an exam paper has been marked correctly and that the published marking scheme has been applied properly throughout. The review ensures there have been no marking errors or omissions. As a result of the review, a student's mark and grade may stay the same, increase, or decrease. Please note no request for a review of marking can take place without confirmation of the appropriate payment.

Please note the following when collecting certificates:
-You will need to sign for them.
If you are unable to collect your own certificates you can ask someone to collect for you. Please email the exams team at HPS-exams@heyford.epatrust.org giving your authorisation for a third party to collect your certificates and include their details. The certificates will not be released without prior emailed authorisation from you.
We strongly recommend you collect your certificates as replacements can only be obtained from the Awarding Bodies and cost approximately £50.00 each to replace.
We currently have many old uncollected certificates so please check with us first if you haven’t ever collected them and now need them from previous years.
