Examination Arrangements: Summer 2026

Start times

All morning examinations start at 9:00am.

All afternoon examinations start at 1:15pm.

Please arrive at the Dining hall at least 5 minutes before the start of your examination.


Equipment

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct equipment for each examination. You cannot rely on the invigilators to have spare equipment for you, although they will endeavour to do their best to help you.

A list of prohibit equipment can be found here.


Rooms

All examinations take place in the Sports Hall (unless you have agreed a separate arrangement with your Head of Year or the Learning Support department), with the following exceptions:


Examination Clashes

Sometimes two or more examinations are timetabled at the same time. Normally we'll run the examinations consecutively, starting with the longest examination. 

Occasionally we may have to move an examination between morning and afternoon. Affected candidates will be asked to remain under supervision between examinations - this means no access to the internet, media or other candidates but access to text books for revision is allowed. More information will be provided to any candidates involved.

More soon - please check back later!
