Examination Information
for students and parents/carers
On this page you will find information relating to internal and external examinations. Copies of letters, PPE and public examination timetables, student handbooks and useful qualification information can be found here.
The JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) and awarding bodies provide information for candidates on the rules and regulations they must follow while completing their qualifications. It is important that students at St John Fisher are aware of and adhere to these rules at all times.
The JCQ and awarding bodies take breaches of regulations, which would be seen as malpractice, very seriously. Incidents of malpractice will be reported to the awarding bodies and will likely result in disqualification from the subject. In some cases, candidates have not only been disqualified from the subject for the malpractice involved, but also from all subjects completed or yet to complete. This would have a detrimental impact on a candidate’s future prospects and continuance in education.
Students at St John Fisher are given JCQ notices at the start of their course in Year 10 or 12 and again in Year 11 and 13. Students need to read and understand these documents to ensure they do not commit any act that will be seen as malpractice. Please click the links below for electronic copies of the JCQ notices.
dealing with exam stress
Here are some short YouTube videos, prepared for students, that give some guidance of how to deal with exam related stress (please note these videos are from a third party provider).
When students are given their timetables for public examinations taken in November, January and Summer, they should be read alongside any letters explaining the arrangements for their examinations. Non-examination assessments will usually take place with the teacher, who will make candidates aware of the level of control and any additional rules and regulations that candidates must follow.
Every school or exam centre has a nominated examinations officer who is responsible for overseeing the exams taking place. The examinations officer is not only there to ensure rules and regulations are adhered to at all times, but to help parents and candidates with any problems that they may have during exam time.
You can contact our examinations officer by telephone or email via the contact details below. It is also important to point out that all centres have a centre number. Candidates should learn this as they will need to include this on the front of all of their exam papers.
