I am sure both you and your child is concerned about the upcoming GCSEs, at the moment Ofqual (who is the Governing body for all exams) stated on 6th March:
- “We recognise that students, parents, schools and colleges will be concerned about the possible impact of Coronavirus on the 2020 summer exam series. Our advice at this time is to continue to prepare for exams and other assessments as normal.
- We continue to work closely with exam boards, other regulators and the Department for Education and we have met to plan for a range of scenarios, as the public would expect. Our overriding priorities are fairness to students this summer and keeping disruption to a minimum.
- It is still many weeks until exams start and we will issue updated advice if necessary, giving schools and colleges as much notice as possible.”
As soon as we hear any further news I will update you immediately.
- Work for students isolating will be on Seneca by 19/03/20 – apologies for the delay and thank you for your continuing support.
