 JCQ Access Arrangements

Assessment Services for Schools

I provide qualified, JCQ-compliant Access Arrangements assessments for students in secondary education based in Kent & East Sussex. These assessments support applications for exam accommodations such as:

  • 25% Extra Time

  • Reader

  • Scribe

  • Word Processor

  • Modified Materials

​

What’s Included

Each assessment includes:

  • A focused battery of tests gathering the formal evidence required for Section 2 of Form 8.

  • Full completion of Section 2 of Form 8, including:

    • Standard scores

    • Test names

    • Clear justification statements based on JCQ AARA 2025/26 guidance.

  • Optional summary sheet of results (ideal for internal records or JCQ inspection).

Assessments are always based on clear evidence of both:

  • Substantial need (via assessment data)

  • Normal way of working (provided by the school via Section 1 of Form 8)

​

Pricing

Standard Rate – £65 per student

  •  1:1 assessment

  •  Includes all paperwork

  • Summary sheet optional

Full Day Package – £450 flat rate

  • I aim to assess 8-10 students per day

  • Schools coordinate the timetable
     

How It Works

  1. School completes Section 1 of Form 8
    This includes background, history of need, and confirmation of normal classroom support.

  2. Assessment Day
    I assess students using targeted tests based on their needs. These might include:

  • Writing speed (DASH-2)

  • Reading fluency (WIAT-III, ToD-C)

  • Working memory / processing speed (CTOPP-2)

  1. Section 2 Completed
    I return Form 8 (Section 2) to the SENCo, alongside any optional documentation.

  2. School submits to JCQ
    The SENCo uploads the complete application via Access Arrangements Online.

Please ensure the following are provided on or before the assessment day:

  • Completed Section 1 of Form 8 (with all 3 questions answered)

  • Brief student background (what arrangement is used and why)

  • Clear timetable for each pupil to attend their assessment

  • Confirmation that any recommended arrangement is the student’s normal way of working

  • Any relevant supporting documents (e.g. classroom work samples, SEN records)

⏱ If students are applying for arrangements like extra time, scribe, or reader, their usual classroom support must reflect this (JCQ requirement). Assessment alone is not enough.
