Illness

What to do if you are ill

If you are unable to take an exam because you are ill, you must notify the School by telephone (01562 512880) as soon as possible. The Receptionist will let the exam staff know of your illness.

If you miss an external exam through illness you must complete the JCQ Form 14 and return it to school as soon as possible. Please note that without this completed form we cannot proceed with any special consideration request and it is possible that you may be charged the entry fee for the exam. If at all possible you should sit the exam – it may be possible to accommodate you in a small room rather than in the Sports Hall – this depends on staff availability.

If you have a contagious disease you should stay away from school, and, as long as you have completed Form 14, a request will be made on your behalf for special consideration for any exams you miss. If a candidate is taken ill during an exam, they will be escorted to the Medical Room by an invigilator, their exam script will be sent to be marked with the others and a special consideration request will be made.
