From September 2005 teachers in state schools are no longer routinely required to invigilate public exams. This means that many schools will need to recruit, train and manage additional invigilators.

In response to this, the NAA has worked with awarding bodies to produce a range of support materials for schools and colleges.

The content of these pages is under review. Please be aware that some aspects may be out of date.
