How Exam grades will be awarded
Once we have been told how the grades for GCSE exams will be decided, we will let you know. We will tell you by sending you a letter, by sharing information on this page, on the school website and Facebook page.
If there are changes to any other qualifications or exams, we will let you know about these as soon as we are made aware.
Work To Be Completed By Pupils
For all subjects, you should continue to complete all of the work that you are required to do by your subject teachers. This includes completing any Mock Exam/Test papers that you are set.
We will need all of your work as evidence of your learning and achievement towards your qualifications.
