Private Candidates

At The Webber Independent School, we are delighted to offer a limited number of places for private candidates. We currently provide 12 standard options for external candidates wishing to take advantage of our examination setting. We may also be able to accommodate additional subjects; however, this will depend on whether there are any specific centre requirements. Please note that applications for non-standard subjects may take slightly longer to process.

This programme is designed to support students who are preparing for their examinations while studying independently. To register, please complete this application form, and our Examination Officer will be in touch.

Please note:

We do not accept candidates younger than the equivalent of Year 10.
The standard entry fee is £250 per subject (excluding Modern Foreign Languages, which are £350), with a deadline of 31st January.
Applications submitted after 31st January will be considered as late entries, with a fee of £500 per subject (£700 for Modern Foreign Languages).
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept external candidates for GCSE subjects that include a Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) component.

Access Arrangements

If you have any Special Educational Needs (SEN), our Exams Officer will put you in contact with our SENCo, who will advise you on the required documentation. Please provide as much relevant information as possible, including any existing Form 8 and/or Form 9, an EHCP (if applicable), and any additional supporting evidence.

Please note that the application form must be completed before any SEN-related discussions can take place.

If we determine that we are unable to accommodate your needs, your application will be closed, and no fees will be charged, provided this occurs before the entry deadline. However, if you confirm your exam entries and go ahead, and all required SEN documentation is not received in time for the application to be processed with JCQ, you will still be permitted to sit the examination(s) without access arrangements. However, should you decide not to proceed, you will not be entitled to a refund.
