Need to cancel a remark urgently

My son got 1 mark away from an A* in his English literature GCSE and an English teacher I spoke to on results day said he would put in for remarks. He has since told me he put both of his papers in. I've now found out by looking at raw to ums converter, that he got full ums in 1 of the exams so need to have the remark cancelled for that 1 paper. The exam officer won't reply to any of my emails, so I'm very concerned. I rang a AQA but they said it has to go through exam officer. I'm not sure what else I can do.

An exams officer who doesn't check email daily in the second half of August!!?

Yes the school are paying as it is 1 mark away. They won't for ones that are 2 marks away from the next grade boundary though and I think it depends on the teacher. I'm worried that she won't contact AQA before it gets remarked and then it will be too late. I've been emailing her since Friday. I also want some others remarked, but she hasn't let me know if she's put them in. I've now sent her a message saying if she doesn't respond, I will be contacting the headmaster! I'm not sure what else to do.

If the teacher put them in for remark does that mean the school are paying?
You may need to give your exams officer a couple of days to reply, I know ours is like me and checks email daily but not all schools do that .
