Application for Re-mark
A re-mark of the Entrance Assessment is available to the
parents/guardians of all children who took the Entrance
Assessment on 21st November or 12th December 2009. On request,
GLA will re-mark the answer sheets for both the English and
Mathematics assessments. From receipt of this request, this
process will take 5 working days with GLA before the result of
the re-mark is reported to the Assessment Centre. Please note
that the Re-mark score will be taken as the final score whether
it remains the same or is higher or lower than the original
score provided on 6th February 2010.
The Assessment Centre will inform the parent/guardian of the
result of the re-mark process and, if necessary, send on a new
results slip. For security reasons, the result of the re-mark
request can only be reported to the parent/guardian by post.
The closing date for requests for a re-mark is 4.00pm on Friday 19th February.
All remark requests must be made on this
RM1 form and returned
by post or by hand to the Assessment Centre where the child took
the Entrance Assessment.
