EARs:
EARs may be requested by staff or candidates if there are reasonable grounds for believing there has been an error in marking.

When the school does not uphold an EAR, a candidate may apply to have an enquiry carried out. If a candidate requires this against the advice of subject staff, they will be charged.

ATS:
School staff may also request scripts for investigation or for teaching purposes. Access to Scripts consent from the candidates must be obtained.
GCSE re-marks cannot be applied for once a script has been returned.
