Our school is one of high expectations which transforms pupils, whatever their starting point, into responsible and academically able young adults. We are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to ensure each of our pupils has the chance to attend an academically rigorous university.
The administration of public examinations in any school is a major undertaking, and one which involves large numbers of students and necessary security procedures. The 2017 summer examination season will run from Tuesday 2 May to Thursday 29 June.
The Examinations Invigilators perform an important role in ensuring the proper and secure running of public examinations and are needed to assist in the management and supervision of public examinations at King Solomon Academy. The ideal candidate will be reliable and punctual, highly flexible, able to relate to pupils and comfortable in a high pressure environment.
The Examinations Invigilators will report to the Examinations and Careers Coordinator who will brief them with regard to the examinations to be taken, the timing of examinations, materials needed for examinations and any variations there may be from the times published on the start of the examination paper.
Examination Days
The morning examination session will start for candidates at 9.15am and the afternoon session at 2.00pm, although Examination Invigilators will need to be on duty at 8.30am or 1.00pm in order to assist in the setting up of exams and supporting pupils with extra time. The afternoon examination session is due to be finished by 4.30pm; although the exact end time will vary on a day-to-day basis. The number of hours worked will necessarily vary.

About King Solomon Academy
King Solomon Academy is an all-through school for 3 - 18 year olds in Lisson Grove.
Pupils and their immense potential are at the heart of the academy. They live and work by the philosophy that there are no excuses and no short cuts to success, and promote excellence in every aspect of academy life.
Aims, Vision and Values
Our mission is to provide our pupils with a rigorous and transformational education which prepares them for success at university and beyond. We ensure that every pupil achieves academic success and has the real option of going to university. We want to make university education something which is accessible, exciting and aspirational. We believe our pupils work hard towards this goal because we make it real for them. We name our classes after well-known university cities and we name each year group by the year in which they will graduate from sixth form. We run residential trips to universities to open their eyes to the opportunties that university study can deliver.
In order to make our dreams for our pupils a reality, we foster values and approaches that transform the lives of our pupils. At the heart of our approach is that we are an all-through school with a thriving nursery provision. We believe in investing in knowing our pupils and their families extremely well, and we prioritise our pupils making extraordinary progress in the early years of their education. This sense of long-term commitment is core to our approach.
We have high expectations for all of our pupils, and believe that with great teaching and a lot of love and care, every child here can fulfil their potential.This both warm and strict approach means pupils feel safe and secure in the school but also confident to contribute to the future of the school and their community.
Long term, we aim to play our part in removing the educational disadvantage currently experienced by those born into economic deprivation our country. We strive to create role models and leaders in our community and through them to create a safer, fairer, and happier society.

Specialisms
Like all Ark academies, King Solomon Academy has a maths specialism. Proficiency in maths is essential in every sphere of adult life, so we invest in the resources to attract and train the best maths teachers. We aim to produce confident and proficient mathematicians. We will ensure that pupils acquire skills as early as possible. We will help every student to maximise their skills and qualifications and offer those with particular ability the chance to accelerate their achievement in maths and further maths.
King Solomon Academy is a music specialist school. We chose music as a specialism because it is fun and inspiring and can involve every pupil. We believe that being part of the KSA orchestra will create a great sense of shared identity as well enabling our pupils to benefit from the known academic, intellectual and social advantages of musical training.
