Public Exams Centre for External Candidates

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR 2027 Series

We are still accepting enquiries for the Summer 2027 series. However, we are currently working through a high volume of enquiries and, for some subjects, availability is becoming limited.

 

Provision for Private Candidates

Luckley House School has limited availability for private candidates wishing to sit public examinations. The school is registered with AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC examination boards for this purpose.

Before applying, candidates should check the relevant examination specifications to confirm that the qualification is available to private candidates. We are unable to accept entries for qualifications that include coursework or non-examination assessment (NEA), unless the candidate is re-sitting a qualification for which these components have already been completed and certified in accordance with the awarding body’s requirements.

We may be able to accommodate private candidates who require limited access arrangements. However, the School does not have the capacity to undertake the assessments required to establish eligibility for access arrangements under Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) regulations. Candidates must therefore provide appropriate, current evidence of any approved access arrangements at the time of application.

Please note: Places for private candidates are limited, and enquiries will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

 

Preliminary information

Please complete the Preliminary Entry Form in full.

If the Centre can accommodate your examination entry(ies), you will receive a provisional entry confirmation together with an invoice covering the examination entry fee(s), invigilation costs and the Centre’s administration fee(s).

Final examination entries will not be submitted to the awarding body until payment has been received in full. Any late entry fees or other charges incurred as a result of delayed payment or late entry requests will be the responsibility of the candidate.

Points to note

  • You are responsible for ensuring that all information relating to your examination entry(ies) is submitted to the Exams Office by the relevant deadlines.
  • Additional charges may apply depending on your examination entry(ies) and any associated use of the Centre’s facilities. These may include, but are not limited to, extra invigilation costs. Where applicable, such charges will be invoiced once the examination timetable has been finalised and must be paid no later than one week before the examination takes place.
  • The Centre reserves the right to withdraw examination entry(ies) where any fees or charges remain outstanding.
  • The Centre cannot accept responsibility for any amendment fees incurred as a result of insufficient notice being given to make changes to examination entry information. Any such fees will be payable by the candidate.
  • If you choose to withdraw your examination entry(ies), any refund will be limited to the amount, if any, refunded by the relevant awarding body. Awarding bodies only permit refunds within specified timescales following the entry deadline, and these arrangements vary between awarding bodies.
  • If you are registered with another examination centre, that centre may be notified of any entries made through Luckley House School.
