It is the aim of UTC Plymouth to make the examination experience as successful and stress-free as possible for all candidates and their parents/guardians.

Illness and Absence From Examinations
Should any student be unable to attend an examination due to illness or an emergency, it is vital that parents inform the school as soon as possible.
All absences from examinations for medical reasons must be supported by a Medical Certificate obtained from your doctor within five days of the illness. Without such proof, the examination authorities may refuse to grant any special consideration.
If a delay occurs on the way to an examination that may cause a student to miss the start time, please inform the school as soon as possible. Students must still come to school and report to reception upon arrival.
