Logo

Haybridge is open today Wednesday 20th November for all year groups.

Students and staff must take great care when making their way to school as after the recent snowfall roads and pavements may be a cause for concern and should only be travelled if families and individuals consider it safe to do so in their particular circumstances.

Please report any absences in the usual way.

Our last communication from the school transport companies suggested that they are running a normal service and they have yet to make us aware of any changes or cancellation to services.

Post Results services

Enquiry About Results (EAR) Services

Following the release of examination results, if a candidate believes an error has been made they have the right to apply for a review of their results to the awarding body, through the school. This can take the form of a clerical check or a full re-mark of an examination paper or papers. This review is termed an Enquiry About Results (EAR) and is applied for by the school on behalf of the candidate. This procedure has a short deadline and therefore any requests must be carried out quickly and within the deadline stated. Candidates wishing to make an enquiry or appeal about results must complete a request and consent form – see below.

 If the School makes an enquiry about the result of the examination after the subject grade has been issued, there are three possible outcomes:

 

  • The original mark is confirmed as correct, and there is no change to the grade
  • The original mark is raised, so your final grade may be higher than the original grade received
  • The original mark is lowered, so your final grade may be lower than the original grade received

 

We advise that any candidate who has concerns about a grade awarded for a subject to talk their concerns through with the subject lead (where possible) or School Leadership Team. It may be appropriate to review the exam script before making a final decision (see below for more information). Following this discussion, the school will apply for a review if this is considered an appropriate course of action.

 In order to proceed with the enquiry or appeal, the candidate must complete and sign a request and consent form, available with the candidates results slip or on our website. This tells the headteacher that you have understood what the outcome might be, and that you give your consent to the enquiry or appeal being made.

Two services are available to candidates. These are summarised below:

 

  • Service 1: A clerical re-check of the marks awarded.
  • Service 2: A review of the marking, in accordance with the agreed mark scheme. A priority service is available for A-level candidates where a higher education place is dependent upon the outcome.

 

For both Services, the written consent of the candidate must be obtained, as the candidate’s marks and subject grades may be lowered.

 Access to Scripts (ATS) Services

  • This is a free service which must be requested through the exams office. Only the candidate may request access to their scripts or consent to an enquiry about results

 Applications can be made by contacting emailing us: exams@haybridge.worcs.sch.uk

Collection of 2026 GCSE and A Level Certificates

All GCSE and A Level certificates will be available for collection from the main school reception from December 2026. When collecting results students should bring with them photographic identification.  All certificates must be signed for on collection.

As per the JCQ guidelines, any examination certificates will be kept by Haybridge High School for 12 months until December 2027.

If students wish to claim their examination certificate following this date, students will need to contact the awarding bodies themselves for replacement certificates. Please note that not all examination boards offer a replacement certificate service. If this is the case, a ‘Certifying Statement of Results’ will be issued.

GCSE Examination Boards

Student Wellbeing Resources

Tests and examinations in school inform teachers, parents, and students themselves about their academic progress and potential future pathways. But like any situation in which a person’s performance is being evaluated, the outcomes may feel very significant: Examinations have the potential to be stressful.

It is perfectly normal to experience anxiety and, research shows, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Anxiety and stress cause the body to release adrenaline which can be helpful when responding to challenging situations. Stress will help students focus on preparing for, and then apply themselves during the examination itself.

Haybridge High School fully recognises its responsibilities for students with mental health and wellbeing needs. We want our students to:

  • Learn in a calm and purposeful environment, where behaviour is exemplary and routines are established.
  • Be mentally and physically fit to equip them for a successful adult life, be independent and ambitious.
  • Be confident, happy and feel safe.
  • Be friendly, respectful, caring and polite.
  • Develop resilience.

Should you wish to discuss any concerns around wellbeing, please contact us at school.

Please find links to other useful documents and information below.

Illness

If you are unable to take an examination because you are ill, you must notify the School by telephone (01562 886213) as soon as possible. The Receptionist will let the exam staff know of your illness.

If you miss an external examination through illness you must complete the JCQ Form 14 and return it to school as soon as possible or by email to exams@haybridge.worcs.sch.uk. Please note that without this completed form we cannot proceed with any special consideration request and it is possible that you may be charged the entry fee for the examination. If at all possible you should sit the examination – it may be possible to accommodate you in a small room rather than in the Sports Hall – this depends on staff availability.

If you have a contagious disease you should stay away from school, and, as long as you have completed Form 14, a request will be made on your behalf for special consideration for any exams you miss. If a candidate is taken ill during an examination, they will be escorted to the Medical Room by an invigilator, their exam script will be sent to be marked with the others and a special consideration request will be made.
