What happens next?
You will receive an acknowledgement to your appeal request within five working days of submitting the request. Please contact appeals@ocr.org.uk if you do not receive an acknowledgement.
All appeals correspondence will be sent using a secure file transfer system. The first time we contact you, we will send two emails – one notification email and one email with login details and a link to the file transfer system. This will allow you to access the correspondence we send you.
When we receive an application, we check whether the appeal can be considered. This is based on the grounds put forward, whether a review of results has been completed and/or the timescale of the application.
We will inform you whether the appeal can be investigated and, if not, provide the reason why. If it can, we carry out an investigation/review and then send a report detailing the decision. The appeal will either be upheld or rejected. In cases where the appeal is upheld, further work will be carried out, which may include a further review of candidates’ work or a re-consideration of the decision.
