With the exams budget being one of the largest in any school – averaging around £80,000 per school in 2011 – your exams officer is a pivotal member of staff.
The role of exams officer is unique. It is not merely an administration post. Exams officers are required to manage the day-to-day logistics of internal and external exams, manage an exams department, line-manage, train and recruit staff, such as invigilators – all responsibilities which are often not reflected in the job title or status of the role.
In addition to this, exams officers are also required to have a thorough knowledge of the examination processes, specification content, annually updated rules and regulations, and interact with a range of stakeholders.
