Our Principal Teachers will be receiving the results tomorrow as well and will be checking them against the information supplied to the SQA before the holidays.
SQA will have a free appeals service for 2020. We will first check that they are eligible to use the service and discuss the process with them. We will check that the result they received is lower than the estimated grade that we sent to SQA in May. We must also make sure that there is appropriate evidence available to support an appeal. Mr Fleming will meet with all Principal Teachers after they return to school on Tuesday 11th August and ensure that all appeal requests are with the SQA by the deadline dates which can be found on the link: https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/94420.html
Priority will be given to those who are needing a result to secure a conditional place at college or university.
The appeal and all the associated assessment evidence will be reviewed by SQA's senior subject specialist examiners. They will either accept or reject the appeal based on the evidence provided.
If our appeal request is accepted, the result will be upgraded. If the result is required for a conditional college or university place, SQA will contact us at school and advise the Higher Education institute and UCAS, as appropriate. An updated Scottish Qualifications Certificate will be sent to out after all appeals for 2020 have been completed.
If our appeal request is rejected, SQA will confirm either the original grade on the certificate or a lower grade. This information will be sent to us at school so that we can talk to your child about it.
It is possible that a lower grade could be awarded following an appeal. Including this option supports fairness and equity to all learners, while maintaining the integrity and credibility of the qualifications.
You can find more information about 2020 Qualifications on SQA's dedicated learner and parent and carer webpages.
Best Wishes

Head Teacher
