Sitting GCSE as an independent student without an EHCP

NAS83348

My 16 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. She has not been in school for 2 years now. Up until then she masked her way through life and we or her schools had no idea she was autistic. She wants to sit her maths and English GCSE exams but is not affiliated to any schools. Any idea how to do this please?  Thanks

  • Write to the exam boards with a copy of her diagnosis and a list of her needs. It could be that they can say, for instance, tell you where she can sit them in isolation with a 1:1 invigilator and adapt the room to sensory needs, or say, allow her extra time.

    They should be used to these requests, just normally coming from schools rather than the parent, but still, they should know what to do.
