Examinations

The Education Minister has announced that the 2021 summer series examinations will not take place for Welsh GCSE, AS levels or A levels. In summary, in place of unseen public examinations, grades will be determined by teacher-managed assessments which would be set and marked externally.

Usually the following arrangements are put in place:

Key Stage 4 Support Programme
Throughout Key Stage 4, a programme of After School Revision is available with free transport always provided on Tuesdays at 4.30pm, and from January also each Wednesday.

During half-term break(s) and the Easter holiday period, there are scheduled revision sessions for students to assist them with their learning.

During examinations, focused 'Immersion Days' and/or 'Immersion Mornings' provide intense revision sessions to support students. These are normally arranged the day in advance of public examinations. Details of revision and immersion sessions emailed to students/parents as and when they are arranged. 

GCSE/A Level Examinations
Individual student timetables are emailed to students and contacts. Paper copies are issued to students and further copies can be requested from the school office. A noticeboard outside reception will detail exams and venues on the day (in case of any last minute changes).

ENQUIRIES/ADVICE ABOUT RESULTS
After students have received examination results, there is a short period of time where papers can be requested and/or reviewed for marking. A form may be obtained from the main office, which details deadlines and fees (they are unique to every season). A copy of this form is also put in your results envelope.
