Policies
The College regards the emotional and behavioural well-being of all our pupils of the utmost importance. The College has, in conjunction with Board of Governors and best practice advice from appropriate Education Boards, formulated a number of policies in order to provide a consistent approach across the College to various issues that may arise. These policies provide a framework for all our staff to maintain a consistency on issues such as Homework, Teaching and Learning, and Child Protection. All our policies are available in writing on request. If you require a particular policy please do not hesitate to e-mail us by clicking here.

Important Information Regarding Examinations
As the examinations officer at Blackwater Integrated College, I am writing to emphasize the importance of ensuring your child is fully aware of their examination schedule and the necessity of punctuality during this critical period.
Morning examinations will commence promptly at 9:00 AM, and afternoon examinations will begin at 1:15 PM. It is essential that students arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow for a smooth and stress-free entry into the examination room.
Following the completion of exam entries at the start of October and again at the end of February, each pupil will receive a personalised examination timetable. It is extremely important that this timetable is double-checked for accuracy. If there are any errors or concerns, your child must inform their subject teacher immediately so that any necessary corrections can be made in good time.
In this section, you will find detailed information regarding:
– The dates and times of all scheduled examinations
– Access arrangements for eligible students
– Guidelines on applying for special consideration in case of unforeseen circumstances
We strongly encourage you to review this information with your child and ensure they are well-prepared and aware of their responsibilities.
For further details and official guidance, please refer to the following resources:
– Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ): https://www.jcq.org.uk
– CCEA Examination Timetables: https://ccea.org.uk/examinations/timetable
Your support in helping your child succeed during this examination period is greatly appreciated.
