At Kelvin Hall School we work hard to prepare all of our pupils for their exams and help them to achieve their full potential.

In order for us to do this, pupils must also work hard and be aware of what is expected of them when they come to sit an exam.

This page sets out some of the upcoming exam dates and important information that pupils will need in order to succeed.

For more information about exams, please call Teresa Comez, examinations officer, on (01482) 342229 or email comezt@kelvinhall.net

GCSE Controlled Assessments – Unitised GCSE Examinations

In addition to the above exams, there are a number of GCSE subjects whose students are required to undertake controlled assessments in the classroom, under ‘formal’ or ‘less formal’ conditions, as directed by the exam boards. 

These tests are set on specific dates and times in the months prior to the main summer exams and attendance is essential if you are to successfully complete and receive an award for the subject concerned.   You will be notified of the dates and times of these assessments by your subject teacher in due course.   

Further information is available to candidates on sitting controlled assessments and written exams. There is also information available on the rules relating to coursework.

All exam candidates should be aware of what they are allowed and not allowed to do and bring to exams and in particular that mobile phones and other mobile devices are not permitted.
