We do exactly the same as Sarah.

 

 

Sarah we commandeer the sports changing rooms, which are next to our sports hall/exam venue, and that becomes a secure bag store. Students leave their bags and belongings in there and it is locked by an invigilator (we hold the only keys) for the duration of the exam(s). We stipulate theat property is left at their own risk and they are supervised going in and out.  It works really well and we have had this arrangement in place for nearly 6 years now. The changing rooms are not used by the PE dept whilst exams are on as we have their space as our main exam hall so it doesn’t tread on anyone’s toes.

 

I’d recommend something similar if you can.

 

 

 

Hi everyone

 

With the new rules surrounding wrist watches in exams, it’s made us think about mobile phones (again)

 

Our largest venue houses 264 students and there is no room for bags in the exam room. We expect that every student has a mobile phone and they no longer have access to a locker here at college. In the past we have operated a raffle ticket/sandwich bag system for students who want an invigilator to look after their phone at the front of the room. However, 264 is a lot of phones to look after if they are all handed in and a huge responsibility for an invigilator to take on.

 

I just wondered if anyone had any other ideas of how the mobile phone (and other unauthorised items) system can be managed in the above circumstances , with such large numbers involved?

 

Many thanks

Sarah
