GCSE re-marks – 2026

Please note:

 

GCSE Results Day is Thursday, 20th August 2026. You can collect your certificates in the school canteen from 9:00am. Please sign your “Post-Results request” whilst on site that day. This is to ensure we have your consent if you query your overall grade in any subject.

If you are unable to come into school on results day, please email Mrs Waldie with the address you would like your results to be sent to. This request must be made by the student and cannot be submitted by a parent/carer.

For further information about deadlines and costings for reviews of marks, please read the important letter below.

Dear Parent/Carer,

On our return to school in September the Heads of Department will review the GCSE results and may request a re-mark for exam papers if they feel it is appropriate.

On results day, in the envelope there will be a blank consent form which may be used if a re-mark is requested. This needs to be signed by the student and handed back to staff on results day. If a consent form has not been handed in, then one will be e-mailed to the student if needed. If one or more of any GCSE exam papers are on the list for a re-mark, we will contact each student by telephone.

Please ask your son/daughter to keep an eye on their e-mail account throughout September. Signed forms should be e-mailed back to school as we cannot proceed with a re-mark or an enquiry about results without it.

Each student has the right to appeal against their results even if it is not supported by school. If any exam papers are not chosen by school for a re-mark but you would like to put in a request, you need to contact the exams officer directly at the school via email to make the request by the 15th September 2026; this will enable us to meet the exam board deadline. It is strongly advised that you speak to the Head of Department before applying, as they will have reviewed all the results and be able to give you more in-depth information.

If you decide to request a re-mark there is no guarantee that marks will change, it can result in the overall grade going up, down or remaining the same. The fee for the re-mark will need to be paid to the school bank account before we can proceed with a request:

Account name – Fred Longworth High School

Sort code – 30-91-01

Account number – 14919760

Reference – student name & exams

If your child’s contact details have changed since leaving school, please let us know and we can update our records.

Kind regards,

Mrs S Waldie

Examinations Officer

How Yondr Works

Frequently Asked Questions

We want our students to be engaged in their learning. A child at high school should not really have a reason to contact a parent during the day; however, if there is a genuine reason e.g. they have forgotten their packed lunch, a phone call can be made home from the school office. If a parent needs to contact their child in an emergency, they should contact the school office. If you need to contact your child during the school day, contact the main office on 01942 883796.

In case of a school emergency, we direct our students to safety first, following our school emergency procedures.

 

Students are in possession of their phone - in their Yondr pouch - for the entire school day. We will advise students to store the pouch safely in their school bag or blazer pockets.

If a student damages their Pouch or is caught on their phone, we will confiscate the phone and issue a sanction which is likely to be a suspension.

Note: Damage consists of any signs that the physical integrity of the pouch has been compromised, whether intentional or unintentional, as determined by the school or Yondr staff.

Damaged pouches will be charged to parents at a cost of £20.

They will be searched and wanded with a handheld scanner by a member of SLT. If they are found to have their phone on their person they will be expected to place it in their pouch. Refusal will be met with suspension.

If a student forgets their Pouch, their phone will be confiscated.

As per our previous mobile phone policy;

  • Confiscated phones will be taken to reception where the phone will be secured in the school safe.
  • Parents will be alerted to the phone confiscation via the school office.

Parents will have the option to collect the phone at the end of the day. If parents do not collect the phone, the phone will remain in school until the end of the week or until the student has their pouch.

In Yondr’s experience, this almost never happens. All students funnel past the unlocking stations at the exits, they want their phones back and don’t forget to unlock their pouches. If they do arrive home with a phone in a pouch, they can either come back to school to unlock it, or have a phone free evening!

The unlocking process is quick and takes under a second per student. 

As a privilege, Year 11 will be able to unlock their phones as they go off site at lunchtime; however, they will be expected to put their phones back into their pouches when they return to school for period 5.

Yes. There is an adapted version of the pouch which uses a Velcro fastener instead of a magnetic lock. This means the student still follows the policy, but the adapted pouch gives them easy access to their phone when required. If the student abuses this, they will face a sanction. We are already aware of these students.
