Exam Information

In the event of bad weather in the region and the school being closed on exam days we will still attempt to open so that students have the opportunity to sit their exams. Students should report to the exam venue as previously advised by 08:30am for a morning exam and by 12:30pm for an afternoon exam.

Please note that students arriving late may not be able to sit the examination.

Students should not risk their safety to get to school if the conditions are particularly bad either in the area in which they live or around school. If a student misses or is late for an exam for any reason it is not possible for them to take it on another day. We can apply for special consideration in some situations, but essentially exams that have been missed can only be retaken the following year.

• Students are only allowed to write with a black pen for all external exams.
• Students should come to their exams with all the equipment they need including black pens, pencils, mathematical equipment, a calculator and any other permitted equipment for specific exams.
• All equipment must be brought into the exam room in a transparent pencil case.
• Students are allowed to bring bottled water into exams however the bottles must not have any labels on them and should be placed on the floor next to their exam desk.
• Students must not bring a mobile phone, a watch or any other internet-enabled device into the exam room – doing so would almost certainly result in disqualification.

• Certificates are available for collection from the Main Reception during normal Accrington Academy opening hours.
• Certificates are the property of the student named on them and the student must sign for them on receipt. If a student wishes to ask anyone else to collect them on their behalf then the person collecting them needs to have ID and a signed permission note from the student.

If you have a query about your results or certificates please click here to email our exams officer Mrs J Stewart, you should include in your email your full name, D.O.B, and the year when you took your exams.
