Examinations and Pupil Performance
Barr’s Hill School endeavours to provide a stress-free and successful examinations service. Information is provided to ensure examinations run smoothly.
Students are encouraged to read the examination regulations carefully and share them with their parents or carers. This includes making themselves familiar with the attached JCQ notices from the exam boards before they enter the examination room.
The Examination Boards have strict criteria which must be followed related to the conduct of examinations and Barr’s Hill School follows these precisely. All candidates should pay particular attention to the Notice to Candidates.
