A2 LL - EXAM DETAILS / LOCATION AND EXAM TIMETABLE

A2 ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE A
ELLA 3 - Comparative Analysis and Text Adaptation
EXAM DETAILS


Friday 17 June 9.30 - 12.00 Quins IG stand


Click here for a link to a map of the venue. However I recommend checking the route to the venue yourself before the exam date. The college usually produces a map for students. In the past these can be collected from reception. There are exam details posted around Glades as well as reception.


Please confirm the above details through official sources. The information above is my understanding of the situation. I may have got the details wrong.


Quins is a short for the Harlequins Rugby Union. Exams are held at the Stoop Stadium in some of the hospitality areas. The Stoop Stadium is about a 15 walk from the back of the college. However with all the demolition work going on access to the exam venues will different than in past years.


Make absolutely sure you know where the exam venue is and know the route well before the morning of the exam.


The address for the stadium is:


Twickenham Stoop Stadium
Langhorn Drive
Twickenham
Middlesex
TW2 7SX
