· Students are continually reminded of the standards of behaviour expected of them.
If any students do not conform to these standards, please refer to the Instructions for the conduct in examinations' booklet (ICE) and send for the Examinations Officer or a member of the Senior Leadership Team immediately.
Minor breaches of standards should be reported to the Examinations Officer and entered onto the Invigilator Log, which is available in each examination room.

· Any concerns, please contact the Examinations Officer or a member of the Senior Leadership Team via the school office.
