We allow both internal and external private candidate sittings and entry, for pupils wishing to sit exams from the major British examination boards. Almost all subjects, levels and systems of examinations are provided for.
We accommodate government A Level, GCSE, IGCSE, 11+/13+ exams and more.
You may call in for Biology, Chemistry and Physics practicals for GCSE & A Level examinations. Art exams may also be accommodated depending on the exam board.
Please note: Although the majority of applications come in during the first academic term, some candidates may need to apply late. Edexcel, WJEC, OCR, Cambridge International etc. normally apply different deadlines for exam entries. Applying after these deadline dates still allows entry but the majority of exam boards double and then triple their entry fees depending on your application date. Applications are processed at the point your payment is made and finalised in no less than seven days. Hence in the event of a deadline being 21 February, your application will need to be sent to us by 13 February. Applications received on the 14 February will require a full 7 day processing and be received by the exam board on 22 February, one day late and hence be subject to late charges. You may call to clarify entry dates if in doubt. It may be possible to apply for sole room/invigilator use with charges listed per 30 minutes – see booking form (classed as extra time rates.)

– AS & A Level (GCE).
– GCSEs & IGCSEs.
