Examinations’ Information
Introduction
Public examinations and Internal Assessments can be stressful for students, parents and carers so it is important that all those involved are as well informed as possible. Well informed students understand that the rules and regulations are designed to ensure fairness and minimise disturbance.
The school makes every effort to ensure that students receive the best possible preparation for their external exams, internal assessments and tests; that the administrative arrangements run smoothly; and that the assessments are conducted in a way that causes as little stress as possible, so that students achieve their full potential.
Students will receive an individual timetable for the exam series; a copy of the overall timetable is published on the website for both GCE and GCSE. Students are briefed, before the exams and assessments take place, on the rules, regulations and guidance outlined by the JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications). Information on the rules, regulations and guidance can be located on the following tabs, we hope it will be helpful. We endeavour to keep the website updated to reflect the changing information as soon as we receive it.
If you have any questions please feel free to make enquiries of the Examinations Officer. The telephone number and email are below.
