The Role Exams Invigilators are to provide support to the Examinations Department during the running of examinations to ensure a calm environment to give the candidates the best possible opportunity to be successful in their exams. Our school (St Mary’ Calne, St Margaret’s Calne and St Mary’s Calne Sports Club) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Key Responsibilities Main Duties include (but are not limited to): Conducting the exam within the guidelines set down by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) in the Instructions for Conducting Examinations (ICE) booklet (relevant documents will be supplied). Assisting in setting up examination venues and helping organise students at the start and end of each exam. This will include, for example, putting ID cards on desks in the correct order according to the Seating Plan, checking that the desks are stable, putting out examination papers and stationery in the correct places, guiding candidates to the right desk, ensuring silence at all times, answering any queries, writing the details on the white display board, issuing equipment and extra paper as and when requested, collecting exam papers at the end of the examinations as instructed by the Lead Invigilator etc. Remaining vigilant at all times, patrolling round the examination venue whilst not disrupting the candidates. Escorting candidates for toilet breaks and supervising candidates whilst outside the examination venue. Escorting all candidates from the exam room under exam conditions to a safe place in the event of a fire alarm being sounded. Maintaining calm and following the school’s procedure in the event of the lockdown alarm being sounded. Responding quickly to a candidate’s hand signal - a student must not be kept waiting with her hand up for any unreasonable length of time. Referring anything suspicious that may be considered as malpractice to the lead invigilator who should in turn refer the matter immediately to the Examinations’ Officer. Supervising candidates who have a clash of papers and are therefore required to remain under supervision for a Supervised Lunch or break between sessions. Supervising candidates leaving the room at the end of an examination, ensuring they do not remove any equipment or stationery and remain silent until well away from the exam room. Ensuring that exam papers are never left unattended at any time. Inspections It should be noted that public examinations are subject to JCQ scrutiny. Inspections are never announced and inspectors can present themselves at any time. Inspectors carry out a rigorous and thorough analysis of all procedures and for this reason it is very important that we always abide by all exam regulations.

Invigilators are expected to attend meetings/training every school term and need to be available at the beginning of January to run Mock examinations for the GCSE year group.
