It is the aim of The Purcell School to make the examination experience as smooth and successful as possible for all candidates.

We are committed to ensuring that candidates are fully briefed on the examination and assessment process and are made aware of the Joint Council for Qualification (JCQ) and Cambridge (CIE) regulations. The examination boards (awarding bodies) set down strict criteria, which must be followed precisely.

The Purcell School uses the following examination boards:

  1. AQA
  2. OCR
  3. Edexcel
  4. Eduqas (WJEC)
  5. Cambridge International (CIE)
  6. Joint Council for Qualification (JCQ)
