Provision of examination centre for external exams

Pocklington School's exam office provided an examination venue for Woldgate School students looking to sit Oxbridge and Further Education Aptitude tests.

Aims

Four pupils from Woldgate College needed an exam centre to sit various higher education application tests. These tests were being run at Pocklington School, so the pupils were given the opportunity to sit them with the school's exam office.

Resources

Our exams officer organised for the external candidates to sit the tests at Pocklington School, which required administration and communication prior to the test date. On the test day itself, the exams officer was involved with the testing for five hours. No financial contribution was required.

 

Impact

The provision of the exam centre enabled the pupils to sit their tests in a nearby location and will facilitate their application to a higher education establishment.

Frequency

This was a one-off event.
