Being Late or ill on exam days
If you know you will be late to an exam, call the school 020 8949 1537.
You will be allowed to sit your exam with the full time of the paper but if you are very late, we will have to notify the relevant exam-board and it is their decision if they accept your exam paper.
If you are sick on the day of an exam, call and speak to Miss Pettifer, our Exams Officer.
A doctor's note will be required as evidence to send to the exam-boards, if you are too ill to attend your exam.
Unforeseen and exceptional circumstances
There may unforeseen circumstances/ exceptional circumstances which happen to a student whilst sitting their exams which may disadvantage them.

Temporary illness or accident/injury at the time of the assessment.
Bereavement at the time of the assessment
Domestic crisis arising at the time of the assessment
Evidence may be required by Exam-boards
