Y11 Exam Update
15 Jan 2021
Dear Year 11,
When I emailed you all last week, I promised that I would let you know as soon as we had any further information. The latest update that we have received is that the government is still working on what the alternative arrangements for this year will look like but they are exploring the possibility of providing externally set tasks or papers, so that teachers can use these to support their assessments of students.
Assuming school is allowed to re-open after half-term, we will be moving back the dates of the second set of Y11 mock exams. These exams/ assessments will now take place between Monday 22 March and Friday 2 April. We will obviously be adapting the style and content of these assessments to reflect any guidance we receive regarding the likely format of any new external assessments which the exam boards may be offering in each subject.
We will of course continue to share any information with you that we receive about this yearâs process as soon as we have it and also pass on details about the new-style âmock examsâ which we hope you will be sitting at the end of March. So the message for now is to keep working hard in preparation for whatever challenges lie ahead, particularly whilst everything remains uncertain. Continue to stay focused and positive – I am still really impressed by the dedication that you are showing to your remote studies and it is lovely to keep receiving such positive feedback from your teachers.
Remember that we are here to support you in any way that we can.
Take care,
Mrs Pearson
