Exams

Public exams can be a stressful time for students and parents/carers and it is important that all those involved are as well informed as possible. The School will make every effort to ensure that our students receive the best possible preparation for their exams, that the administrative arrangements run smoothly, and that exams are conducted in a way that will cause as little stress as possible and help our students achieve their best.

For any queries regarding examinations please do not hesitate to contact our Exams Officer, Mrs Knox via email: lrknox@bartholomew.epatrust.org

JCQ Contingency Day

The summer 2024 exam period will run from Thursday 9th May to Friday 21st June. However, students should be aware that as part of the summer exam series, a ‘contingency’ exam day has been announced by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). The designated contingency day for summer 2024 is Wednesday 26th June. This means that all exam candidates must remain available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 26th June 2024. This is not a Bartholomew School decision and applies to all candidates in all schools. Please can students, parents and carers make a note of the contingency exam date in the event that an awarding body needs to invoke its contingency plan, as it is vital that students are not absent from any rearranged papers.
