If you know you will be unable to collect your results in person email tracy.gardner@northgosforth.co.uk from your school email address and we will email your results to you.

- Access to scripts Non-priority for teaching and learning – As priority but not guaranteed to arrive before the review deadline
- Service 1 Clerical re-check of all procedures leading to the issue of a result
- Service 2 Review of marking to ensure the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly
The deadline for requesting a Priority Access to Script is 7th September 2024 with the deadline for all other services 28th September 2024.
In the first instance you should discuss any concerns with a member of staff on results day or email Mr Ayres after results day.
