Exams Access Arrangements

Exam Access Arrangements are not about giving an advantage.
They are about ensuring a student can access exams fairly, based on how they normally work.

An Exam Access Arrangements assessment identifies the support a student needs and provides clear evidence that meets JCQ requirements.

Assessments cover:

• One-to-one assessment using appropriate tests

• Identification of strengths and barriers affecting exam performance

• Clear recommendations linked to assessment findings

• Completion of Form 8 (Part 2)

How this is delivered:

• Face to face and remote assessments are available

Why choose Inclusion Compass?

• Qualified and experienced assessors

• Clear, structured and compliant documentation

• Practical recommendations linked to day-to-day working

• Flexible delivery to support school and college capacity

Prices start from £50 per student for assessments

I needed help when my daughter’s Sixth Form college refused to make a reasonable adjustment to her study programme. Barry’s support has been invaluable thanks to his deep knowledge of the SEN system and the Equality Act. Barry has expertly reframed our case, taking out the stress and sense of powerlessness we felt. Thank you.

Barry is an excellent, independent Access Arrangements Assessor. Barry is extremely knowledgeable and all information following testing is of a high quality and completed in a timely manner. Barry puts the students at ease and checks-in regularly with our team throughout the day. Barry is keen to share his expertise and has given advice and guidance on other aspects of the SENDCo role. I would highly recommend Barry

Kathryn Bridle Exams Officer at Chesterfield High School

Barry is a fantastic asset to have work with our school. His expertise and diligence he displays in his work is second to none. Barry is able to create a natural rapport with students he has just met which is valuable and helps put our students at ease throughout the process of ‘testing’ which they would find stressful otherwise. Barry is also extremely generous with his knowledge and is able to clarify updates and queries accurately and quickly.
