Approve marks

Review submitted marks, approve or reject them, and release an exam's results to students and parents.

Teachers submit marks; this page is where an approver accepts them. Approving does not show anything to families by itself: a student's result goes live when all of their papers are approved, or when you release the exam. Only people who can approve results can use the buttons; others see the lists only.

What you see on this page

  • Counts at the top: Awaiting approval, Approved, Rejected and Not graded.
  • Release to students and parents: one row per exam with Visible (results families can see), Held back (approved but not yet visible), To approve (marks still waiting) and a Release button.
  • Four lists in this order: Awaiting approval, Not graded, Approved and Rejected. Each has Student, Subject, Exam, Marks (out of the maximum) and Status. Long lists are split into pages.
  • On the Awaiting approval list: Approve all with the count, and a tick and a cross on each row.

Approve marks

  1. Open LMS → Approve marks.
  2. Look through the Awaiting approval list.
  3. Select the tick on a row to approve one mark, or select Approve all and confirm to approve every waiting mark in the school.

Reject a mark

  1. Select the cross on the row.
  2. Confirm Reject. The mark goes back to the teacher, who must correct it and submit it again.

Release an exam's results

  1. In Release to students and parents, find the exam.
  2. Check Held back. It shows how many approved results are not visible yet.
  3. Select Release and confirm. Students and parents can see those results straight away, and class positions are worked out.
