[Exams](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/exams?hsLang=en-gb) # Managing Exam Staff #### **Permissions** To manage exam staff you will need the following permissions: ![A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-2195-AM.png?width=398&height=406&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-2195-AM.png)   #### **Assign exams staff to the season** Invigilators play a key role in upholding the integrity of the examination process, and ensure that examinations are conducted in accordance with the [JCQ Instructions for Conducting Exams (ICE)](https://www.jcq.org.uk/exams-office/ice---instructions-for-conducting-examinations/). Facilitators are staff who are assigned to carry out specific Exam Access Arrangements, e.g. scribe or read for a candidate, in accordance with [JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments](https://www.jcq.org.uk/exams-office/access-arrangements-and-special-consideration/regulations-and-guidance/). Staff who are taking on the role of Invigilator or Facilitator should be added to the exam season. From the season page, click on **Go to \> Exams staff** ![A green border with white background AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-4580-AM.png?width=779&height=122&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-4580-AM.png)   Click on **+Assign staff to exam season** - use the toggles to indicate whether a member of staff is an Invigilator or Facilitator. Use the search box if required. Multiple staff can be assigned to a role by selecting the staff using the tick box next to their names, clicking on the **Roles** checkbox at the top and then clicking on C**onfirm**. In the example below, the staff with the ticks will be assigned as Invigilators to the Summer 2025 season. ![A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-4693-AM.png?width=666&height=517&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-4693-AM.png) We can also see from the screen above that J Basha Abo and J Agshikar are Invigilators and have active assignments, meaning it is not possible to remove this role from their profile for the current season.  E Adani has the role of Facilitator but has no assignments as the toggle is still bright green, so this role can be removed if required.   Once added to the season, you can record dates when staff are not available so they will not appear on the list of staff for those date(s).   From the staff page, click on the little pencil icon in the Unavailable column.   ![A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-6856-AM.png?width=721&height=216&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-6856-AM.png)   Add the date(s) and session(s) and click on **+Add sessions**. Repeat this process until all unavailable dates/sessions have been added for all staff. ![A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-9977-AM.png?width=405&height=449&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-9977-AM.png) When staff have been assigned the role of Facilitator and/or Invigilator for a session, their assignments will be displayed on the Staff assignments tab. In the example below, we can see a list of staff who are assigned to rooms as invigilators for the May 12 AM session, and D Dolin is acting as a Facilitator for Sophie Adams. Clicking on Sophie’s name from this page will take you to her Student Record Page (the information displayed will depend on user permissions).   ![A screenshot of a calendar AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-9018-AM.png?width=638&height=317&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-18-9018-AM.png) Staff who have access to GO 4 Schools can view their Exam timetable from the **User or Teacher \> Exam timetable** link. Ensure the timetable visibility is set appropriately (Edit exam season page). ![A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-7793-AM.png?width=711&height=130&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-09-07-19-7793-AM.png) When a staff member is assigned as a Facilitator, the student and EAA information will also be visible on the timetable.   - [General](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/general?hsLang=en-gb) - [Academic Year Set Up](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/academic-year-set-up?hsLang=en-gb) - [Student records](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/student-records?hsLang=en-gb) - [Courses](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/courses?hsLang=en-gb) - [Timetables](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/timetables?hsLang=en-gb) - [Cover management](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/cover-management?hsLang=en-gb) - [Exams](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/exams?hsLang=en-gb) - [Reports](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/reports?hsLang=en-gb) - [MIS Communications](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/mis-communications?hsLang=en-gb) - [Settings](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/settings?hsLang=en-gb) - [Census](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/census?hsLang=en-gb) - [Staff records](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/staff-records?hsLang=en-gb) - [Roles and Permissions](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en-gb) - [Admissions](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/admissions?hsLang=en-gb) - [Agencies and agents](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/agencies-and-agents?hsLang=en-gb) - [Video Guides](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/video-guides?hsLang=en-gb) Copyright © 2026, GO 4 Schools
