There was consideration given to providing this as a route to appeal, but this did not go ahead because the decision was made on 17th August to accept the grades schools allocated to candidates in the Centre Assessment Grades. Any applications to appeal on the basis of mock results cannot be accepted. There is no right to appeal on the basis that you do not agree with the professional judgement of teachers. The Ofqual guidance on this year’s results and appeals can be found **[at this link](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/910620/6676_Changes_to_awarding_GCSE__AS__A_level__EPQ__AEA_-_summer_2020.pdf)**.
