JCQ Notices to Candidates
Beaumont School follows the Access Arrangements procedures that are set in place by the regulator JCQ. We have a stringent system in place as follows: Years 7 and 8: We build up evidence of need through teacher feedback and assessment. This means that students who may have had test arrangements in primary school will not automatically qualify for the same support until we build up our own evidence of need. Year 9: We test the whole year group (during Autumn Term) for various speeds of working and begin to introduce students who are eligible for EAA to using this as their normal way of working. Year 10: Applications for EAA are made by the school for GCSE (and other 16+ qualifications) . There is an information evening held for parents/carers who have children who have qualified for EAA. Year 12: Applications for EAA are made by school for A-Level (and other 18+ qualifications). A diagnosis of a disability does not automatically qualify for EAA, the student would still have to meet the criteria set by JCQ. Private assessments are not accepted by JCQ and therefore Beaumont cannot accept these. For extra time to be considered a student must have two below average scores or one below average score and one low average score in two different processing speeds during the testing in Year 9 by the qualified assessor at Beaumont. Overview Access Arrangements allow candidates/learners with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries to access the assessment without changing the demands of the assessment. These may involve readers, scribes and Braille question papers. In this way Awarding Bodies will comply with the duty of the Equality Act 2010 to make ‘reasonable adjustments’. Reasonable Adjustments The Equality Act 2010 requires an Awarding Body to make reasonable adjustments where a disabled person would be at a substantial disadvantage in undertaking an assessment. A reasonable adjustment for a particular person may be unique to that individual and may not be included in the list of available Access Arrangements. How reasonable the adjustment is applied will depend on a number of factors, including the needs of the disabled candidate/learner. An adjustment may not be considered reasonable if it involves unreasonable costs, timeframes or affects the security or integrity of the assessment. There is no duty on the Awarding Bodies to make any adjustment to the assessment objectives being tested in an assessment. For more information please refer to the JCQ guide: https://www.jcq.org.uk/Exam Access Arrangements (EAA):
