Exams Training delivers two courses during each academic year for senior leaders line managers who have responsibility for examinations and assessments within their centre. The content is designed to reflect the importance – and responsibilities – of senior leaders in the management of examinations in their centre, with a focus upon key areas at particular times during the academic year.
Both courses aim to support senior leaders in:
- effectively line managing their exams/exams officers
- fulfilling their responsibilities in implementing and maintaining a range of exams-related practices within their centre
- planning for the absence of their exams officer during key exam periods
Subject matter experts from The Exams Office are responsible for course content development and delivery. They have experience as members of SLT, devising and delivering DfE exams policies and initiatives, leading government exams support field teams, and creating good practice exam guides which are followed by more than 5000 schools/colleges. They will also be available throughout the day to answer your questions.
All courses contain a range of table-based activities to aid understanding, share good practice and network with colleagues.
All events start at 09:00 (registration from 08:30) and finish by 16:00
