Bus Arrival Times And External Examinations
The bus companies are aware that external examinations will be starting shortly and how important it is to run to time and to let us know of any problems as soon as they can. Whilst punctuality is generally very good we also know that traffic problems can occur at any time causing unavoidable delays. Information known to the school is published on PrincethorpeCol when received.
In the event of a bus arriving late during external exams then we ensure that pupils taking exams leave the bus before anyone else. Candidates should not worry if the bus runs late. The Examinations Officer is alerted to the expected late arrival of any bus and will arrange for a member of the team to collect candidates from the student hub.
The procedure for candidates to follow has been highlighted in a recent assembly and is:
- Register at student hub and tell the member of staff they should be in an exam
- Hand over their mobile phone and any other electronic devices to staff at the student hub
- Wait to be escorted to the exam room
- Stay calm!
Candidates will always be allowed their allocated time to complete their exam and then the exam board is notified of late arrivals.
