This information is for pupils and parents/carers. Please read carefully.

Contacts for queries:

Check your individual timetable for correct subjects, tiers, and personal details (name, DOB).
Your candidate number will be provided and displayed on your exam desk.
The school’s GCSE timetable will be posted online before each session.
Ensure the school has your current contact information.
Bring correct equipment (black pens, pencils, maths instruments) in a clear pencil case.

Read the Notice to Candidates carefully—breaches may lead to disqualification.
Most exams are in the Boys’ Gym; check noticeboards for updates.
Line-up will be in the girls gym/canteen before entering the examination hall.
Wear full school uniform.
No mobile phones, smart watches, or electronic devices in the exam room.
Water only in clear bottles (labels removed); no food unless pre-approved for medical requirements.
Listen to invigilators and follow instructions.
Candidates must not leave for at least one hour after the published exam start time.
If finished, use any remaining time to check answers silently.
In case of alarms, follow invigilator instructions calmly.
Pupils with access arrangements will be informed in advance.

Attend all exams; missed exams may incur charges.
If problems arise, contact school before 8:15am.
For illness or emergencies, provide evidence promptly for special consideration.
Misreading the timetable is not an acceptable reason for absence.
Arrive 15 minutes before start time.

Results day will be published on the website and in your timetable pack.
To authorise someone else to collect results or have them posted, submit the form and a stamped envelope to Mrs Phillips before exams end.
Results will not be given by phone.
