Cheney School — Cheney Lane, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7QH

Before you book

Ring or email the centre: places go, fees change and some take their own students first.
Ask early. Many close summer entries between November and January.
Check how coursework, speaking tests and science practicals will be done before you choose a specification.
Access arrangements need evidence and time, often a year or more ahead.

JCQ, which sets the rules for exam centres, lists the centres that have told it they take private candidates.

Read our guide to GCSEs as a private candidate.

Many entries started from the HE Exams Wiki, kept by home educators. An entry with a Last checked date was checked against the centre's own website that day; one marked Not yet checked hasn't been yet. The wiki's content is shared under CC BY-SA, and so are the centre details on these pages.
