Thursday 20th August 2026Exam Results Day
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to receive their GCSE & BTEC results and we appreciate that this is an important day for everyone in Year 11. We understand how hard they have worked throughout their time at school and they should be rightly proud of their efforts. Students can arrive at the main entrance to the upper site playground from 9am to 12 noon. They will be directed to the main hall where they will be able to collect their GCSE and BTEC results Staff will be present to help students collect their results as quickly as possible. The school will remain open all day. If a pupil is unable to attend at 9am, then their results can be collected from 12pm by entering the school via the Main Reception. If students would like another person to collect the results on their behalf, they should contact Mrs Wilkinson either by email at h.wilkinson@bridgewaterhigh.com or through a letter, signed by themselves, naming the person that will collect the results. At 2pm, any uncollected results will be posted home. Throughout the day, there will also be members of staff available, including our careers team, to give any necessary guidance that is required in supporting students with the next stage of their Education, Employment or Training.
We look forward to seeing you on 20th August.
We understand that receiving exam results can be a moment of both excitement and concern for students and their families. The examination process is rigorous, and the grading is done with utmost care. However, there can be instances where students and parents might have reservations about the awarded grades. In such cases, the option for an Enquiry About Results (EAR) is available.
An EAR can be one or more of the following:
· Access to Scripts: scripts are requested back, to be reviewed to see if it is worthwhile going for a Review of Marking or a Clerical Check.
· Clerical Check: Checks will be made that all parts of the script have been marked, the totalling of marks, the recording of marks.
· Review of Marking: Review of the original marking to ensure that the mark scheme has been applied correctly
Here are some circumstances under which you might consider requesting an EAR:
Significant Discrepancy: If you believe that your child's result significantly deviates from their expected performance, considering their academic history, mock exam results, and overall performance in the subject, it might be worth considering a remark.
If the result in a subject is not in line with the other grades your child has received.
Unexpected Result: If the result received is drastically different from your child's performance as observed throughout the year, you may consider an EAR to ensure there were no administrative errors in marking or data entry.
Near-Miss Grades: If your child is just a few marks away (1 or 2) from a higher-grade boundary, requesting a Review of Marking could potentially result in an improved grade. You can check the grades boundaries following these links:

Subject Importance: If the subject in question is integral to your child's chosen career path or future studies, and the result is not reflective of their abilities, a Review of Marking might be a suitable option.
