Very Late Candidates

If a candidate arrives very late (more than one hour after the published start time) for a JCQ exam, Windermere School invigilators must:

• Allow the candidate to sit the exam.
• Provide the full exam time.
• Submit the script.
• Submit a JCQ/VLA form on the centre admin portal (CAP).
• Warn the candidate that the awarding body may not accept their script.

Candidates have been trained on what to do (e.g. if there is a bad road traffic issue and they are running late):

1. Use their phone to ring into school and to say that they are running late and to explain the issue.
2. Then turn their phone off and hand it to an adult (e.g. the driver of the car). This adult is effectively now acting as an invigilator.
3. When the candidate arrives at school, go to reception and be handed from the original adult (e.g. parent) to reception. Their phone is to be handed over too.
4. The candidate will then be collected by one of the exam team, and given time to calm down / be reassured / go to the toilet.
5. They will then be taken to the exam venue to sit the exam.
