Exams & Procedures

Oakwood Community School is a certified exam centre. We offer GCSE, Functional Skills and vocational subjects to our Year 10 & 11 students.

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.

Oakwood will be open from 9am for students to receive their exam statement of results from the Exams Officer during registration time. Candidates will be required to sign an acknowledgement of collection on receipt of these results.

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

GCSE and Functional Skills certificates will be sent to Oakwood Community School by the Awarding Bodies some time during November. The school will contact candidates when this occurs so that certificates may be collected or sent by post.
