Introducing the OxfordAQA Handbook

We are delighted to announce the launch of the OxfordAQA Handbook, a brand new resource designed to support Exams Officers, school leaders and teachers with delivering OxfordAQA International Qualifications.

This new resource brings all key operational information into one place, offering clear, structured guidance for every stage of the exams administration journey – from becoming an approved school to results and post–results services. It has been created to make OxfordAQA exam administration straightforward, consistent and accessible for all international schools. 

The OxfordAQA Handbook provides:

  • A complete overview of the exams cycle, including planning, entries, pre-exam arrangements, exam day procedures and the release of results.

  • Operational requirements, such as secure storage guidelines, handling assessment materials, invigilation expectations and download processes. 

  • Comprehensive support for NEA, covering responsibilities, standardisation and submission.

  • Centre approval and compliance information, including safeguarding considerations and annual reapproval requirements.
  • Guidance on post-results services, including clerical checks, reviews of marking, issuing of certificates and the appeals process.

The handbook is designed to provide clear, reliable direction, whether a school is new to OxfordAQA or not.
