And when the new results are known pupils ar Corby Community College could be celebrating their best results ever.
Earlier this year the school challenged the results of coursework for information technology examinations and the Examination Appeal
s Board decided that the coursework should be remarked.
The new results will not be known until August.
The school expected 59 students to pass the exam but only 19 did.
Deputy headteacher Steve Ellis said: "We felt we had a good case with our appeal and that has been proved to be true.
"We are pleased results are being looked at again and feel vindicated."
Pupils had to demonstrate evidence of a back-up copy of their work stored on computer as part of their coursework.
Examiners said it was not displayed in the right way, even though pupils produced evidence this had been done.
The school said the examiners' decision reduced marks, taking ssome from merits and distinctions, to fails.
He said: "The results didn't stop anyone getting on a course for the following year because we were confident about what they had achieved.
"There aren't people sitting around waiting for a result but on the other hand it would be good for them to find out and get some good news in the summer.
"We wouldn't have gone through the appeals process if we hadn't felt it was good for the pupils.
"We hope after all we have done that they have good marks for the work they have done."
