It suits  us to start at 1.30- 2pm as it matches the timetabling/ lunches better. Wouldn’t be in favour of a change.

The morning can get a bit tight though, a lot of our students have to travel in from very rural locations so 9-9.30 starts can be tight in Winter.

Same Sally,

Hi everyone

What does everyone think of this?

We have always started our exams at 2pm so we will have to change to 1.30pm if they change it to 1pm

I don’t really understand the logic behind it I am sure we can raise it at the AoC conference in Feb

Thanks

Sally

 

 

 

Dear Exams Officer,

In recent years the JCQ and its awarding body members have been approached by centres asking if the published starting time for afternoon examinations could be amended.

The present published starting time of 1.30pm, with a variation of half an hour, can cause significant problems for rural schools, or those schools with students who are collected by bus/coach from outlying villages.

Although the afternoon examination session may commence at 1pm, and the JCQ Common Timetable Working Group has made strenuous efforts to timetable longer GCE A2 examinations in the morning session, we appreciate the concerns of some centres.

In light of these representations we are canvassing centres on whether the published starting time for the afternoon examination session should be amended from 1.30pm to 1pm with effect from 1 September 2014.

The consultation will run until 19 July 2013.

The completed form should be returned by fax to 020 7 374 4343.

May I thank you for your participation.

Nick Lait
JCQ
