All students are normally entered by the College for GCSEs in English Language, English Literature, Mathematics and Science. In addition, at least four other subject entries will be made for GCSE. Parents are notified of these entries and have the opportunity to discuss them with subject teachers.
In the exceptional case of a student missing part of a course or failing to carry out assignments the College reserves the right not to make the entry. This will always be discussed with the student and the parents. Parents will, in such case, be given the opportunity to have the entry made at their own expense. Where a student fails, without good reason, to attend an examination the parents will be asked to refund the fees incurred to the College.
Morning sessions start at 09:00 AM and Afternoon start at 13:10 PM promptly, this is the start time of the exam so please be outside the designated room at least 10 minutes prior to the exam start. Students should be prepared and ready to enter the exam at this time, please leave all bags, coats, mobile phones and personal belongings in your locker. Alternatively they can be left in the bag store near the hall but be aware this store is not locked.
Always bring with you the equipment need (Black pen, pencil, ruler, eraser, protractor, pair of compasses and calculator) for your exam.
