Supporting Information

To help schools and colleges submit appropriate amendment requests during the 2025 checking exercises we have summarised the requests submitted during the 2024 checking exercises, alongside common reasons why some amendment requests were unable to be accepted. The checking exercise requests summary documents are available in the further guidance section for the relevant key stage below.

To increase the likelihood of amendment requests being accepted we strongly recommend that you read the relevant document before you make any amendment requests.
