Pastoral Support and Next Steps

If at any time you need support or you did not get the grades you anticipated, we have a team on hand to offer you emotional support as well as organising careers guidance interviews to discuss your next steps. Please make contact via email if you need support, stating your name and the subject you have been studying and the best method to communicate with you. You can email the pastoral coaches’ on: PastoralCoaches@derby-college.ac.uk We are keen to hear about your next steps, have you gained employment? An Apprenticeship? We would like to hear your successes.

Appeals

If you are unhappy with your results and believe that there may have been an error in the process leading to the issuing of your result, then there are several appeal options that will be open to you. Each of these options has a deadline for application and these deadlines are absolute, the awarding bodies will not receive applications after these dates. The services available to you are: Service 1 clerical re-check – a simple check to ensure that all calculations and administration has been performed correctly Priority service 2 re-mark – this is only available to A-Level and T-Level students, and is where your paper/s will be marked again as a priority by a senior examiner to determine if the original marking was fair and accurate Normal service 2 re-mark – Available to all students and is the same process as the above but not as a priority. Access to scripts – you can request a copy of your script (this is normally released electronically to the centre to forward to you). If these are required to support a decision to review the marking of a paper the deadline is shorter than simply those who want a copy of their script for personal use.

Appeal deadlines:

All appeal services will carry a cost that you the student will be required to pay. Where errors are found which result in a change to a GRADE for the qualification, these payments will be refunded. More information on the cost will be provided with your results.

Certificates

Certificates are released to centres following the conclusion of the post results services. This tends to be towards the end of March/beginning of April. These will then be posted to students to the address we hold on our system so please ensure that the college holds an up to date address for you as any replacement of certificates is the responsibility of the student.
