Exam Access Arrangements

Exam Access Arrangements (EAAs) are adjustments made to ensure students with specific needs can access exams fairly.

These may include extra time, assistive technology, rest breaks, a reader or scribe, modified papers, or alternative rooming. EAAs are not automatically carried over from school.

They are based on a student’s history of need and their usual way of working in lessons, mocks, and class tests.

To apply for EAAs, students must provide evidence, which may include:

  • Form 8 and Form 9 from school (if previously received EAAs)
  • Assessment results showing a substantial and long-term difficulty
  • Teacher feedback confirming the student’s normal way of working

If you received EAAs in school, you must submit your Form 8 and 9 during the first week of term. Without these, we cannot guarantee arrangements will be in place for November GCSE resits.

How to Apply

Speak to your tutor or any member of staff to request a referral to the Learning Support team. An assessor will review your needs, carry out assessments if necessary, and liaise with teaching staff to complete the application.

All applications must meet JCQ regulations and be submitted before the deadline.

We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Halo workplace logo

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
