Exam Rules & Regulations

All external exams are governed by national regulations determined by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) and our adherence to these rules is subject to an annual inspection. The JCQ provides information for students about rules and regulations which apply to different types of examination.

This information is shared with students as they start their GCSE courses and electronic copies are available here for reference.

Hey there, couldn’t help noticing you’re using Internet Explorer

That’s great and all, and we commend you for pushing through with it. Unfortunately we no longer offer support for IE; it hasn’t received a major update since 2015 and Microsoft are dropping support for it later in the year.

If you’re using Windows 10 and want to stick with a built in browser, please consider switching to Edge. Or, if you really want to enjoy the internet properly we strongly recommend downloading Google Chrome here.
