RESULTS DAY PROCEDURES
Accessing your results
You will receive your A Level Exam results at 08:00 on Thursday 13th August 2026 via the iSAMS student portal at: https://fettes.students.isams.cloud
Log in using the ‘SigninviaAzure’button. Then go to ‘Profile and External Exams’ and you will see an Exam Results tab on 13th August, where your results will be visible.
We recommend that you log in as a test-run 1-2 days in advance just to check everything is in order and to troubleshoot any issues in advance of the day. If you have any issues logging in, please contact Mr Chamberlain: CA.Chamberlain@fettes.com
Accessing
your scripts
• To receive a copy of your script to support a remark request, you must submit a written request to our Exams Officer, Dr French (see Form below).
• For all exam boards, teachers also have online access to your scripts online and may be able to advise you without you needing to request a copy yourself. In the case of AQA, this will only be available to teachers 24 hours after results are published.
Re-mark requests
If you wish to review the result of a paper, you can pay to have it remarked.
Once you have reviewed your script, any requests for remarks must go through the Head of Department first before Dr French is contacted. This is because the Head of Department is best placed to advise on what papers/modules to request a remark on and whether Non Examination Assessments (NEAs) or coursework should be scrutinised before a remark is initiated.
Once you have had the ‘green light’ from the Head of Department, please contact Dr French who will be dealing with all requests for access to scripts and enquiries about results. You can contact him by email on exams@fettes.com or by phone 0131 311 6727.
Please note the following:
• To request a remark, you must submit the RemarkConsentFormbelow to s.french@fettes.com
• It costs approximately £70 to remark one module and you can have one or all of the examined modules remarked.
• You must make payment to the school by Bank Transfer for the remark so that we can process the request. However, if a younger sibling is still at the school, the cost will be added to their Autumn Term’s bill. Any questions about billing, please contact: accounts@fettes.com
• If a remarked module goes up a grade, or causes the overall result to go up by a grade, then no fee will taken as the exam board will waive their fee.
• If a university place is at stake, there is a priority remark service available. The deadline for submitting requests for this is Thursday 20th August 2026
• For non-essential remarks, the deadline is Thursday 24th September 2026.
Fettes College A Level Remark Consent Form 2026
Information for candidates
If you request a review of the original marking, there are three possible outcomes:
• Your original mark is lowered, so your final grade may be lower than the original grade you received.
• Your original mark is confirmed as correct, so there is no change to your grade.
• Your original mark is raised, so your final grade may be higher than the original grade you received.
In order to proceed with the review of marking, you must sign the form below. This makes clear that you have understood what the outcome might be and that you give your consent to the review of marking being submitted.

Important Next Steps
• If you have not already changed your correspondence and email addresses with UCAS you must do so now. Fettes College will not be responsible for any UCAS or university mail which is delivered here during the holiday period. Your school email address will no longer function after the end of September.
• If you have not already sorted out your financial arrangements for university, please do so now. All information is available to you through www.ucas.com. Please note that the responsibility for organising your finance rests with you and your parents.
• Make your contingency plans now. This applies to everyone and is especially important if you are holding only one offer.
• Make sure you know how Clearing works now (www.ucas.com). Information will also be available on Track so make sure you have your username and password. You are eligible for Clearing only if you do not qualify for either CF or CI and both reject you at this point. Clearing is entirely electronic.
• You should not be away on holiday when the results come out, to ensure you can access support as needed.
Results Day
• Confirmation of place: If you have qualified for your place, you will receive confirmation from UCAS and/or the university in due course. Please keep an eye on your Track account but do not worry if this takes a little time. You do not need to do anything until Track or your university asks you to.
• Deferred Entry/ Change of Details: if you want to change your date of entry or negotiate a change to another course, you should contact the university directly. If you want to negotiate a gap year but the university says they want you to start in 2026, please think carefully before withdrawing. You may have qualified for the place offered, but you may not have matched your predictions. Any weaknesses in your achievement will be apparent, on a reapplication, and your chances of getting a second offer for 2027 for the same university may be in doubt. Consider deferring your gap year until after you have graduated.
• Unmet conditions: If you have not qualified for your place and are waiting for a remark, you should contact your university immediately. Do not wait for the outcome of the remark as this can take time, and it might be better to look for a place in Clearing rather than wait.
• If you have not qualified for your place and are not eligible for a remark, you may want to contact your universities directly regardless to find out whether there is any chance of your place being confirmed. That said, ringing universities for information which is already available on Track is not a good idea.
• If you have not qualified for entry into your firm or insurance university andneither has recorded a decision on Track: ring your universities but be prepared to be patient. If you have been careful enough to keep a phone number which gives you direct access to a department, phone them.
• Note: UCAS and universities do not want to hear from your parents or from the school; they will discuss your application only with you or with the person you have nominated on your UCAS form.
• If you haven’t met the conditions for either firm or insurance offer but have been offered a change of course or year, this will be indicated on Track. You are not obliged to accept this. Your options will be shown on Track.
• If you have not qualified for entry into your firm or insurance university, you are eligible for Clearing. Access to Clearing is through Track. If you decide to take a gap year and reapply for UCAS 2027, then please let Mrs Caroline Davies (cl.davies@fettes.com) know.
• If you have not qualified for your firm or insurance offer but nevertheless have a place confirmed (whether through discussion with the university, a change of course or Clearing), please let Mrs Davies know by email as a courtesy to all the staff who have supported you – and we can congratulate you!
• Commitment at Confirmation: If you are confirmed for a university place, you are expected to take it up. If you choose not to take up the place, you must withdraw completely from this year’s UCAS cycle and cannot then seek readmission through another UCASparticipating institution.
Reapplication for 2027 entry
• If you decide to reapply to university next year it is essential that you let Mr Smith rf.smith@fettes.com know as soon as possible. You must register through Fettes using the buzzword (industria827) if you want a reference from us. We do not supply references for independent applications.
• Be prepared to re-write your Personal Statement again. Although you can use your previous Personal Statement, a repetition of this year’s personal statement will suggest that you are not sufficiently motivated to improve your chances of gaining a place.
• You should pay the UCAS fee by card online as your application will not be processed until this has been done.
• The later you leave reapplication, the less likely it is that you will achieve the place you want. We cannot guarantee that last-minute applications will reach UCAS by the published deadline. The same applies to late applications for universities in the USA and other countries.
