Disability
If you need any Assessment Access Arrnagements to be made for you so that you can take your exams and assessments then it is your responsibility to let your school know.

Illness
If you are absent from an exam/assessment or believe that your performance has been affected by illness or other adverse circumstances, you can apply for mitigating circumstances. More information can be found on the Mitigating Circumstances Guidance webpage.
Temporary exam arrangements due to illness and disability or other reasons
If you need temporary modified exam arrangements to be made for you due to illness or disability or another reason then contact your parent school to submit a request with up to date medical evidence (a medical note dated within four weeks before the start of the assessment period). The school will liaise with the Assessment & Progress Team to see what temporary arrangements can be put in place. For contact information see the School Contacts webpage.
You will receive an email from the Assessment & Progress Team once your arrangements have been made.
