INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Examinations web page for the Sir James Henderson School! The aim of this page
is to provide information about public examinations to pupils in years 10, 11, 12, 13, parents
and external candidates.Exams Officers perform the vital function of administering exams in schools and colleges.They ensure that examinations in schools run smoothly. Examinations officers oversee and administer the whole exam process, including sorting out timetable clashes; making sure special requirements are met; and liaising with external examining bodies.
At Sir James the role of the examinations officer is to ensure that students are properly entered for the exams they have selected and that they have been appropriately charged. For this reason, the examinations officer liaises with Examination Boards on a regular basis and with teachers who monitor students.
We use two main GCSE and IGCSE Examination Boards: Edexcel and CIE (Cambridge International Examinations).
Students are allowed to retake Edexcel GCSE modular subjects (such as History or English) in JanuarySJHS Y13 students take exams for the International Baccalaureate (IB). IB Examinations are taken in May. However IB students are allowed to retake one or more subjects in November with a final option to retake subjects in May of the following year.
