Definitely a no as she not one of the people who can be authorised by the Head of Centre to be in the room.
We’ve also had mums on standby in a different room and that seems to work but still have to bear in mind the supervision period.

She was allowed this for her GCSE’s
Any comments?

Rachel I was under the impression exams could only be moved due to a clash. Moving an exam certainly isn’t listed in the AA book under ‘other arrangements for candidates with disabilities’ (pg 69), neither is
it mentioned in the ICE book for any other reason than a clash (pg 10).
As she already has rest breaks I think the only other thing you can offer is longer ones.

Subject: Access Arrangements Advice
Hi,
Some advice is needed please. We have an A Level student who has this year has started her 3rd year with us, in the past she has received supervised rest breaks, this year however she is now asking for her PM exams to be moved
to the AM as she tires in the afternoon. My initial reaction is no as it’s not her normal way of working, she has sat afternoon exams quite happily in the past, her medical evidence doesn’t say anything about afternoon’s being an issue and she attends afternoon
classes. I know I don’t necessarily have to show normal way of working etc but I feel I need a certain amount of information to make a sound decision so that an unfair advantage isn’t given. What would you do/offer?
Many Thanks
Rachel
