All students will receive personal entry statements with details of their exams. 

Any enquiries about examinations or results should be made to the school examination officer by email to examofficer@fxs.org.uk or by telephoning the school.

Start Times

Morning exams start at 9AM, and while students are still attending school they should register with their tutor before coming to the publicised booster location

Exams for Y11 in the Maidstone Sports Hall start at 1 pm. We usually run subject boosters just before the exam, within the main building. Students should attend these as published, and then have lunch as directed, before then coming to the Maidstone Sports Hall ready to start the exam promptly at 1pm.

If a for any reason, a student is late in the morning and students have an exam they may come straight to the exam location. If you are delayed, please call the school to inform us. We will always try to help.

Absence

As is usual for any school absence we ask that you email attendance@fxs.org.uk or telephone the school on 01394 288 122 to report your child’s absence. If a student is missing from an exam we will first check with our attendance team to see if the absence has been reported.

If we have not been notified of an absence we will contact you to check that your child is on their way.

If any exam is missed we will all also contact you for further information about the absence to report to the exam board.

Equipment for Exams

Equipment is provided in exam halls, but students are often more confident when bringing their own equipment. This should be in a clear pencil case. Watches, phones, MP3 players, AirPods and similar are not allowed in the exam halls. Hoodies and coats are not allowed to be worn. Students may bring a drink with them in a clear plastic bottle but this should be free from packaging and drinks containers should have labels removed.
