conducting school exams in London
Exam week fails in the seating plan, the candidate list, and the publish gate — not in the question paper.
A withdrawn student still entered is a board-week disaster. London still has to do this against Ofsted, DfE, Independent Schools Council, A-level. September term with half-terms that must drive attendance, not a US-style quarter overlay. Named facts: Ofsted, DfE, Independent Schools Council, September term.
GBP independent fees; VAT treatment is a school-and-policy matter to itemise, not a software claim about UK tax law. Named facts: Ofsted, DfE, Independent Schools Council, September term. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
- Excel candidate lists frozen in March.
- Hall tickets from a mail merge that disagrees with the register.
- Teachers SMS-ing marks.

After withdrawals, the class list is the candidate list.
