Funding support for schools running exams in the autumn
Schools are being give a "support package" to help with the costs associated with running exams in the autumn for those trying to improve their grades. The package will help book venues, source invigilators, and meet the cost of autumn exam fees if they exceed summer fee rebates.
Where it is not possible to run exams on their own premises without disrupting study, schools and colleges will either be able to book sites through the Department for Education at no cost, or arrange sites themselves and claim back those costs.
Schools and colleges will be able to use the Government’s specialist staffing and events agencies to book invigilators and sites from September as well as being able to claim back costs later in the autumn term.
The DfE said that while £30 million is being earmarked to deliver this support, funding will be demand-led and driven by the number of students who choose to sit exams.
