Post-Results Services: Appeals

The AQA Appeals booklet is no longer in use. All awarding bodies are to refer centres to the JCQ booklet: A guide to the awarding bodies' appeals processes which includes the Application for Appeals form.

Appeals are accepted from:

  • the headteacher/principal of a school or college
  • private candidates.

Who makes an appeal?

We accept appeals in relation to:

  • appeals against results – when a school or college is still dissatisfied with an examination result or results following the enquiries about results process
  • appeals against malpractice decisions – following a decision to apply a penalty because of malpractice in an examination/assessment
  • appeals against decisions made in respect of access arrangements and special consideration

In addition, some administrative decisions, such as in cases of missing scripts, may be subject to review by awarding body officers.

We charge a fee for this service see our Fees for Post-Results Services.

For further enquiries following the outcome of your post-results services (re-mark/re-moderation) school and colleges should put their enquiry in writing to:
