Please read information for candidates sitting the Leaving Cert from the Department of Education.
. Role of Candidates
In line with the important public health messages set out in Section 3 of this Guidance, candidates
should limit their interactions with others in the run up to and over the course of their examinations.
Candidates are required to take personal responsibility for their own health to ensure that they have
the opportunity to take their examinations.
Candidates must not present for their examinations if they:
• are diagnosed with COVID-19.
• are unwell and have any of the symptoms of COVID-19.
• develop COVID-19 symptoms at any stage over the course of the examinations.
• are self-isolating or have been instructed to self-isolate.
• are quarantining or otherwise restricting their movements.
• are a close contact of a confirmed case.
In any of these circumstances, candidates must not attend the examinations. Candidates will be
expected to follow all public health directions and to only undertake their examinations when it is safe
for them to do so.
Candidates, their parents/guardians should familiarise themselves with the latest HSE information on
the signs and symptoms of COVID-19, close contacts, the length of time they will need to self-isolate
or restrict movements if they come into contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID19, etc. Information, which is updated as required, is available from the Parents and Carers Section
on the following HSE webpage www2.hse.ie/coronavirus/. NOTE: This is provided for
information only and is not a substitute for medical advice.
Of course, candidates who want to sit the examinations would no doubt be extremely disappointed in
the event that they are not able to attend for their examinations due to COVID-19 but public health is
13
the absolute priority. Accredited Grades (for those eligible to receive them) is the contingency
measure that will apply in all circumstances this year.
At the examinations, candidates must:
• Observe 2 metre social distancing and minimise their interactions with others.
• Wear an appropriate face covering (i.e. a face mask covering nose and mouth) at all times
while on school premises.
• Practice good respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene.
• Avoid mingling with other candidates in advance of the start of the examinations, between
examinations, and departing the examination centre each day.
• Comply with all other Public Health measures put in place for the examinations.
In normal course, examination candidates are required to comply with the direction of the
Superintendents about all examination related matters. In the context of COVID-19, candidates will
also be required to comply with the Public Health arrangements in relation to examination centres and
with the arrangements for access to the examinations centres each day. Failure to comply with the
reasonable directions of a Superintendent, or other person in authority, may lead to the candidate
being denied the opportunity to take their examinations noting that Public Health considerations will
be an over-arching priority.
A Candidate Information Guide to the 2021 Leaving Certificate with information on the 2021 Leaving
Certificate examinations will be made available to candidates, their parents and guardians. This will
include details of the Public Health measures and also the normal examination information provided
to candidates each year

With the start of the Leaving Cert looming, we understand this can be a stressful time for all involved. We would strongly encourage students sitting the Leaving Cert to limit their social interactions in the run up to exams and until their exams are finished. The guidelines issued by the Department of Education advise against students studying in groups or meeting up in the run up to exams, due to the risk of contracting the virus or being identified as a close contact. This may result in students not being able to sit some or all of their exams. Students have put in huge effort and time into preparing for exams, it would be very disappointing for students were they not able to sit exams. There will not be an opportunity to sit the exams at a later date in 2021, if students are unable to sit exams in school, then they will receive an accredited grade instead. Please be aware of the risks involved. Best of luck in your exams and stay safe.
