Examinations
Welcome to the examinations section of the school website. The examinations team are responsible for the organisation of all of the Public Examinations run by the school, as well as the internal mock examinations, which we call PPEs (Preliminary Public Examinations).
We liaise with the Head of Departments to enter students for their examinations, run the examination sessions, manage the process of distributing final grades on results days, manage the Post Examination results service and collate the Examination Certificates from all the boards ready for collection by students.
In order to do this work, we liaise with the examination boards for UK examinations, as well as the International Baccalaureate Organisation
