Exams & Procedures

Manor High School is a certified exam centre; we offer a full range of GCSE subjects to our Year 11 students. 

We have experience in running exams and ensuring students are fully prepared. With small marginal gains, that manage and relieve the anxiety and stress of exams, we are able to offer some of the best results in the area and nationally. 

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (OFQUAL) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.

The management of exams in schools is based on guidance from The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). JCQ is the single voice for its member awarding bodies. Details of their policies and guidance for schools can be found on their website: www.jcq.org.uk/exams-office

Please note: this page is updated annually in advance of the GCSE exams. The previous year's information remains for informative purposes only.

 

GCSE Results Day Summer 2024

This academic year, GCSE Results day is Thursday 22nd August 2024. Manor High School will be open from 8.30am until 10:30am for students to collect their exam statement of results from the Humanities canopy. Candidates will be required to sign an acknowledgement of collection on receipt of these results.

If a candidate would prefer their statement of results to be sent to them through the post, they must provide a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Exams Officer beforehand.

If a candidate cannot come in person to collect their statement of results and nominates someone else to collect it, the following steps must be adhered to:

  • A letter must be brought, from the candidate, authorising the person. This letter must include:
    • The date
    • The candidate’s full name
    • The authorised person’s full name
    • A statement from the candidate authorising the nominated person to collect their statement of result
    • The candidate’s signature
  • The nominated person must also bring a photo ID with them. 

GCSE certificates will be sent to Manor High School by the Awarding Bodies some time during November. The school will contact candidates when this occurs so that certificates may be collected.

Year 11 Advanced Information (Summer 2024)

The advanced information states what will definitely be examined in the summer from the qualification specification and students should base their revision upon these lists. Students across the country all have access to this same information and grades are assigned based on student comparisons. Therefore, if a student chooses not to prepare then they are putting themselves at a greater disadvantage than in a normal year as all students across the country will have seen the advanced information which removes the element of 'luck' of a topic coming up in the exam, and removes the 'everything I revised wasn't on the paper'.
