EXTERNAL EXAMS AT CRANFORD

Cranford Community College has welcomed over one thousand students wishing to sit exams with us as private candidates. Among our external candidates, we cater for A Level students who have taken a gap year to improve their A Level Grades, students from distant learning colleges who need a local centre to complete their retakes, students who are educated at home looking to complete GCSE and A Level examinations and Local Community Language schools looking for an official examinations centre for their students to complete their speaking and written exams.

We have also assisted local schools by organising speaking exams in several mother tongue languages such as; Panjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic and Cantonese Chinese.

We can offer all GCE/GCSE exam modules for Edexcel, AQA, OCR, CIE and WJEC examination boards. We can accommodate students with special requirements. We can also offer a full range of IGCSE qualifications, which are proving increasingly popular for students needing a GCSE level qualification, without the requirement of coursework.

It is important that you are not late, regulations require you to be at the centre on-time.

Special consideration

During the 2024 summer examination series a candidate may experience an issue or event which has an adverse effect on their performance in the examinations. This may be because it prevents the candidate from taking the examination or it may prevent them from demonstrating his or her normal level of attainment in an assessment.

Special consideration can be applied for if a candidate has temporarily experienced illness, injury or some other event outside of their control at the time of the assessment. It is therefore extremely important that students and parents/carers /guardians keep the academy informed of any situations that may have an impact on a candidate’s performance in the exams during the summer 2024 series. Contact Mr Ladva the exams officer at the earliest opportunity on 020 8897 2001 or mla-cc@cranford.hounslow.sch.uk

Candidates will be eligible for special consideration if they have been fully prepared and have covered the whole course but performance in the examination, or in the production of coursework or non-examination assessment is affected by adverse circumstances beyond their control at the time of the assessment.

There are two categories of special consideration:

  • for a candidate that is present for the examination but is disadvantaged due to circumstances on the day.
  • for a candidate that is absent from the examination for an acceptable reason.
