    Does the school get the exams back?
    Will my school get all of the GCSE English exams back from WJEC after they have been marked? You see, I have prepared quite an ambitious but embarrassing narrative, and I don't want any of my teachers reading it after I write it in the exam.

    You can get them back, but you have to pay. You wont get them back otherwise.

    Your school can apply to have it returned if they want. So unless it gets an amazing mark, no.

    The exam board returns the entire set of exam papers about 6 months after the results day (I think) but the teachers won't bother touching them. I only discovered this minor revelation last week. But my English teacher said they'd only had to find one exam paper in the last 10 years, for some job application. So I guess they won't bother.

    I know what you mean though, my writing to describe was kinda personal, made it much easier to write.
