Exams

• Formal exam dates and start times are set at a national level and cannot be changed.
• Mock exam dates and times are set by our school and communicated to students in advance.
• Formal exams take place in the Main School Hall. Alternative rooms will be provided to accommodate students with exam support. Those students will be told in advance where they will be required to be.
• Students must wear their full, correct school uniform to all exams (both mock and formal exams).
• Please check the Student Details listed at the top of your formal exam timetables: these details need to be corrected before certificates are issued or there will be a charge.
• Students must not communicate with or distract other candidates whilst in the exam venue. There are severe penalties for students suspected of malpractice.
• Unauthorised materials will not be allowed in the exam venues and students are searched as they enter the rooms. Any sweets, drinks, stationery or other authorised items MUST be in completely see-through containers with all labels removed. Anything unsuitable will be removed.
