Students are asked to watch this video prior to sitting any exams. It is important to understand that being in possession of a mobile phone, or any other electronic device, during an exam is likely to be classed as malpractice. The exam boards take cases of suspected malpractice very seriously and the probable outcome is disqualification from the exam meaning students will receive zero marks.
The school advises students to leave their mobile phones at home on exam days.
Swanwick Hall School has an ‘Internal Assessment & Appeals Policy’ covering all internally completed assessments. This is policy is available, by request, from the school’s Exams Office: exams@swanwickhall.derbyshire.sch.uk.
