[senco-forum] Exam concessions

The draft regs are out now on the JCQ site and it does say:
"N.B It is only for access arrangements that must be approved by the
awarding body that an assessment must be carried out either during the
teaching programme leading to the award of the specification(s) concerned or
within 2 years of the start of the examination series"  (Page 31).
Suggestion - I would highlight the relevant parts of the private assessment,
and then complete Section A & B of a Form 8 (referring to data or excerpts
from the report under "History of need") and place all of this on file,
signed by Exams Officer or Head of Centre.

Any half decent EP should be providing the appropriate paperwork with their
reports.  Reports need to be less than two years old for their
recommendations to be allowed.

And again - I hope that I am right! Haven't done any for a year!

Dear all - I am a novice on this forum and wondered if you could help.

Working in a private school a lot of pupils have private assessments
done.  Am I right in assuming that they do not need another one if it is
in Secondary Years (except if applying to board eg for laptop).

If so how do I cope with the paper work.  This means there is no Form C.
Is a copy of a report on file enough for type C arrangements.?

Any suggestions?
