Exams during the adverse weather conditions

11 January 2010

Ofqual this morning had talks with the awarding bodies to assess the impact of the adverse weather conditions on the exams due to take place.

The early indications are that most centres have been able to proceed with the exams or make alternative arrangements for their candidates.

Ofqual would like to thank the teachers and staff at the centres, and the candidates and their families, for their efforts to ensure that the exams could go ahead wherever possible.

Ofqual will be in regular contact with the awarding bodies throughout the period of adverse weather to monitor the impact of the conditions on the exam series.

In order to assist this, any centres that are unable to go ahead with the exams or make alternative arrangements are asked to contact the awarding body involved to keep them informed. Centres considering making alternative arrangements, such as their candidates sitting their exams at another centre, are also advised to contact their awarding body for guidance.
