Examinations
Welcome to the Exam Team at The Downs School. We ensure that all students are correctly advised and prepared for their exams. You will find all official information on this page and further announcements as the year progresses.
All students are welcome to drop in to the exam office for any advice or they can contact exams@thedownsschool.org to speak to Miss Pearce. You will find us next to Reception.
The school will make every effort to ensure that our students receive the best possible preparation for their exams, that the administrative arrangements run smoothly, and that exams are conducted in a way that will cause as little stress as possible and help our students achieve their best. Parents and carers have an important part to play, for example by ensuring that students arrive at school in good time for exams and that they have had something to eat.
