Post 16 Exams Information

All students will receive a personalised exam timetable for all mock and external examinations.

It is important that students do not miss any of their exams and we respectfully request that you do not book holidays during term time and the examination periods. If you have any queries, see Mrs Southorn immediately. It is essential that you check your timetable carefully for the dates and times of your examinations.

The Examinations Officer will re-schedule papers, where there is a clash of subjects. Students will normally sit one paper then have a break during which they will be supervised and must not have any communication with other students. They will then sit the second subject paper.

Inform the Examinations Officer at school as soon as possible. You will need to obtain a letter from your GP detailing your illness.

Exam Boards make no allowances for bad weather. External exams cannot be rescheduled and therefore exams will continue to take place even if normal lessons do not. It is important that you plan ahead and make arrangements to ensure that you arrive on time for your exams.

Yes, provided you are not more than 1 hour late. You should get to school as quickly as possible and report to the Examinations Officer who will escort you to the examination room.

All students should aim to arrive 15 minutes before the exam start time. You should plan ahead and make alternative travel arrangements if necessary. If you are unable to get to Rodillian Academy safely, you should contact us as soon as possible, leaving a detailed message if the phone lines are busy.

Special Consideration is an adjustment to the marks or grades of a student who is eligible. You should be aware that any adjustment is likely to be small. Special Consideration can be applied for in the case of illness, accident, injury, bereavement, or a domestic crisis. If you think that you are a candidate for Special Consideration you must inform the Examinations Officer immediately, so that the necessary paperwork can be completed.

No. It must be turned off and left in your bag.  Being in possession of a mobile phone (or any other electronic communication device) is regarded as cheating. Smart Watches must also be removed.

At the end of the examination all work must be handed in. If you have used more than one answer book or loose sheets of paper, ask for a tag to fasten them together in the correct order. Invigilators will collect your examination papers before you leave the room. Absolute silence must be maintained during this time. Remember you are still under examination conditions until you have left the room.

The examination invigilators will tell you what to do.

If you are unable to collect your results then you can ask another person to collect them on your behalf, however you must give your written authorisation to the Academy before results day.

 Teaching staff will be available to advise you on Results Day. If you feel strongly that it is necessary to make an enquiry about your results you should first consult the Subject Leader to obtain their advice.

Certificates from summer exams will be made available in January.
