Examinations

A two-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, our Grade II* listed building is ideally located for examinations. We regularly host a number of education providers, including schools and colleges. Seating options are flexible, and provide plenty of space for examiners, candidates, and invigilators.

We have five exam rooms. The Great Hall and The Upper Hall are the largest spaces, and they can be hired alongside The Courtyard Room, The Studio, and The Goss Room.

When you hire The Great Hall or The Upper Hall, we include access to The Green Room too. The Green Room is a breakout space and staff room.

All examination hires include:

  • Provision and set-up of exam furniture
  • Storage of scripts before and after examinations
  • Invigilator lounge with tea and coffee-making facilities
  • Clocks, PA system and microphones
  • Access to free wifi.

We are able to support computer-based exams but don’t provide laptops.

Safety information

Examinations in our building will look different at the moment due to our safety measures. We will be following government guidance on physical distancing and we can offer revised exam capacities to allow for 2-metre or 1-metre gaps between desks. We will also be asking all exam staff to help us make sure that candidates don’t congregate in public spaces inside and outside of the building. If you have any questions, reach out to our team.

#FROMTHE ARCHIVES

Married in 1950, Chris and Betty Birch have been involved in political, trade union, and LGBTQ+ activism for over 60 years. Sharing similar interests, they were both Communist Party Members and involved with organisations such as the Aid to Spanish Youth Committee. After the death of his friend, Mark Ashton, Chris became involved in forming the Mark Ashton Memorial Trust, which was created to raise money for individuals living with HIV. The archive includes the truncheon taken from the police by Mark Ashton, correspondence, personal scrapbooks, press cuttings, and various other papers relating to the couples activism.
