- Please note the A-level and GCSE exam contingency day is on the 24th June 2020. This will be used if a significant, unexpected event arises nationally or locally during the exam period such that no students (or a large number of them) are able to take an exam when planned. Students should be available throughout the exam period, including on that day, in case their planned timetable is disrupted.
- Most of the exams in May and June are to be held in the Sports Hall - seating plans and lists of all exam rooms will be displayed around the school.
- Please bring black pens and any other equipment you may need to your exams.
- Pencil cases must be clear.
- Any bottles of water you take into the exam room must have the labels removed.
- Mobile phones, watches, iPods or MP3/4 players or other electrical devices are not allowed in any exam rooms.
- Please leave your bags in your lockers - there is no room for them inside or outside the exam room.
- Any revision notes you take into the exam with you must be given to the invigilator at the start of the exam.
- Please take calculators into any exam where you might need them.
- Exams start at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm - please be punctual. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the exam. You will be allowed to leave tutorial to go to the exam once you have registered.
- If you have an exam clash your individual timetable will explain what to do.
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.

Collection of 2019 GCSE and A Level Certificates
Certificates are available for collection from the Hillgrove site reception area from 2nd December. They cannot be posted home. Certificates can be collected against a signature by you in person, or by one of your parents/carers or your brother/sister who is a student at King Charles I School with written permission from yourself.
Examination certificates will be available for collection for 12 months. As per the JCQ guidelines, examination certificates that have not been collected will be destroyed 12 months after issue.
If students wish to claim their examination certificate, following the 12 month window, students will need to contact the awarding bodies themselves for replacement certificates. Please note that not all examination boards offer a replacement certificate service. If this is the case a ‘Certifying Statement of Results’ will be issued.
