Hi all
This year we have very large numbers for GCSE English and Maths, and access arrangements have also gone through the roof.
As an example for GCSE English we have 973 learners entered, 249 or 26% of which have access arrangements (with many more in the pipeline). As it stands we will need 79 rooms just for separate rooms and shared readers, this doesn't include students without access arrangements, or those with extra time, rest breaks, word processors etc. At present 86 require a word processor.
We are understandably really struggling to accommodate these numbers of access arrangements, please can I ask if any other large centres are experiencing similar, and if so what measures are you taking to address this?
Thank you so much, your responses would be much appreciated.
