Oak Heights Exam Centre is one of the few, if not the only, exam centre in the London Borough of Hounslow, which accommodates GCSE and A Level examinations, private tuition and science workshops to private candidates. Private candidates have the opportunity to sit their examinations on the school premises in a controlled, invigilated environment. A comprehensive understanding of the Major Exam Boards GCSE and A Level syllabuses means advice can often be provided over deciding which modules/units are most suitable for different situations.

Certain subject syllabuses dictate a practical component where the candidate is required to submit practical work to support the theory being tested. Oak Heights are only able to offer the facilities and equipment for Science practicals to be completed and examined; Art, Music and other Technology-related practical assessments cannot, unfortunately, be done internally.

In addition to this, we can only offer to enter candidates for the written units of Modern Languages.

Any coursework that must be handed in alongside theory papers must be completed externally. The teachers and staff at Oak Heights School are not responsible for providing any help with coursework tasks and therefore, it is strongly recommended for private candidates to undertake private tuition to seek academic guidance.

All private candidates are expected to follow the guidelines set by the examining boards.
