At the CE Academy, pupils are entered for nationally recognized qualifications with the following exam boards:
- AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance)
- OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA)
- CIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education)
- C & G (City and Guilds)
- Pearson Edexcel
The exam timetable details all exam days for the current academic year. You may not be entered for all exams and should check your personal timetable, which will be posted to you. All pupils should be aware that exam boards will collect personal data in order to provide their services. Links to how they use your personal data can be found below. JCQ also publishes a set of documents providing information for candidates who are entered for qualifications with AQA and OCR, see the links on this page.
