Manchester College have apologised after staff discovered they'd failed to send a GCSE Maths paper to be marked, leaving students with lower grades than expected.
Several students who sat their Maths GCSE at the college were left heartbroken when they received lower grades than they expected at results day on August 25, with some losing out on university places over the grades. However, their shock and sadness was replaced with anger on Tuesday, September 6, when they received a letter from the college which revealed the school had failed to send one of their papers in to be marked.
The letter, which some of the affected students have shared with the Manchester Evening News , states that there is an "issue" with the paper one, sat at Shena Simon Campus on June 7. It states that the college carried out an immediate internal review, before expressing "concern" that the review found the paper had not been sent to the exam board, Edexcel, to be marked.

After discovering their mistake, the college contacted the exam board and sent in the missing papers, which the board said they will "prioritise" marking for. No date for the updated results has been given to students, but the college has apologised and offered support to affected students, including formal confirmation of the error to support and employment or university applications affected by the results.
The letter apologised for any distress caused by the "exceptionally unsettling news" and states a "full formal investigation" will be carried out, involving a review of what should have happened, why the error occurred, and how the issue could have been prevented.
