The job of an exams officer is most certainly not done once the summer exams series is completed. Jugjit Chima runs through the main duties and responsibilities of exams officers in the coming weeks and months

In the coming weeks, many senior leaders and teaching staff will turn their attention to exam results and post-results. However, exams officers will already be planning for this aspect of the exam cycle.

Exams officers are responsible for many aspects of the process relating to exam results, but it is not solely their responsibility to ensure that candidates receive their results and are supported with any post-results issues and enquiries.

For example, the head of centre must adhere to the Joint Council for Qualifications’ (JCQ) regulations when deciding who will have access to exams results prior to their release to candidates. In short, beyond the exams officer, there must be very good reasons for breaking the confidentiality of these results to any staff – senior leadership team, teaching or administrative – before they are issued to candidates.
