Hi I am a former secondary and LA PRU SENCo /AHT and now an SpLD and Exams access arrangements coordinator in FE.
If your students have ‘File Notes’, Form 8s and all supporting documents and certified psychometric assessments resulting in an Exams Online application before 21st Feb 2020, the examiners will take their barriers to learning into consideration.
Remember that good practice is that exam arrangement needs should be accessed and identified at the end of Year 9, and should thus be the normal way of working during the course and during internal timed assessments etc. PRUs as schools with high mid year admissions can be assured that boards understand.
