Email Now 2021 Exam Results Find Out More Exam Support Sitting an exam is challenging for students for many different reasons. Please don’t worry in silence. Our dedicated team provides support and guidance to all our students, working with you to receive the right support to achieve the best results. We offer access to a wealth of resources to help with practice and preparation, and we can organise exam concessions, where appropriate. Your EHCP (Education Health Care Plans) will highlight if you require support in your exams. Please contact your ALPS/LSA for your curriculum department. Exam access arrangements should always be made at the start of the course, where possible. Arrangements must reflect a student’s usual way of working and must be approved by the examination boards before concessions are granted. Assessments must have been completed within the last two years. In some circumstances, it is possible for current medical evidence confirming physical/mental impairment or other ill-health, to be used for exam concessions. Curriculum Learning Mentors (CLM) CLM’s are based at various centres at different times. They can provide Maths and English support for students with specific learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dysgraphia.
