How can I see SEND details?

On the list of applicants, there is a column for SEND details. If it states 'Yes' on the column, you should view the information in more detail. You can do this by clicking the applicant's ID on the first column. This will open the applicant's profile.

Depending on the device you view the information on, you might have to scroll down to the section 'SEND Details.' You can view an applicant’s SEND details on this section.

You can view the supporting documentation by clicking it, and here you can also read through any added information regarding the requested 25% extra time or other adjustments.

Reasonable adjustments should be provided to any candidate who is considered disabled for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010.

The JCQ guidelines are specific to a range of examinations and not the Common Pre-Test. Allowing extra time in this assessment will not give automatic rights to the candidate to have extra time for their GCSE examinations. For schools which would like to make this position clear to parents we have suggested the use of a signed pro-forma which is shared with senior schools and kept on the candidate's file.

Restricting access to extra time for candidates who have appropriate professional evidence indicating that they require additional time to access the assessment could place them at a substantial disadvantage. Schools should therefore consider each request carefully and, where supported by evidence and consistent with the candidate’s normal way of working, provide reasonable adjustments. Failure to do so may amount to discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, as independent schools must not disadvantage a person in the arrangements they make for deciding who is offered admission.
