Exam Access Arrangements Report

Service Description

Assessments can be undertaken to establish the most appropriate form of support in exams. A formal assessment by a specialist assessor is necessary for students who require extra time or who would qualify for an exam reader or scribe to assist them in their external examinations (known as Access Arrangements). For the student to qualify for Access Arrangements at GCSE/A-level/GNVQ/NVQ/ the report must be carried out while the student is currently studying at their present centre (i.e. school or college) where the external examinations will take place. For the student to qualify for Access Arrangements at Degree level, the student can undertake an assessment before entering or during their time at University. This will provide Access Arrangements for their duration of their chosen course. The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), require assessors and centres (schools or colleges) work together in order to form a joined up process that will enable students to demonstrate their true ability. As such it is essential that there is communication between the assessor and the school and that decisions about exam access arrangements are agreed by all parties.
