Examinations

My name is Mrs Lowman and I am the Examinations Officer at Dartford Grammar School. I administer the registration, submission and organisation of all written external examinations for KS4 and KS5 students. I have an “Open Door” policy between 8am and 4pm; if students can see that I am in my office, then they are welcome to pop in and talk through any issues. Alternatively, you can email me on plowman@dartfordgrammarschool.org.uk or telephone 01322 223039 extension 148.

JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) and IB require that exam candidates have access to and read the required regulations for their respective organisation. You will find listed below the relevant documents, key information and forms for both GCSE and IB examinations. Further information can also be found in the Exams Folder within Google drive/Student Resources.

Common examination schedules for GCSE written examinations and IB written examinations can be found at the bottom of this page for parents and students to refer to.

All students are given a personalised timetable and candidate information pack timely to the examination season for which they have been entered.
