Letter sent home with exam timetables for Year 11

April 2009


Dear Parent/Guardian and Student

Please find enclosed

    Candidate Statement of Entry for this summer’s GCSE examinations. 
    Year 11 Summer Exam Timetable.  This shows all exams for Year 11’s this summer.
    Individual Student Timetable. This shows all the written components for each exam, the dates and the times of each written paper and how long the exam is in minutes. 

If you have any concerns about subject entry, tiers, personal details and even non-entry please contact me or the subject teacher as soon as possible.

Can I remind you that all Longhill morning exams start at 9.00 am and the afternoon exams start at 1.45 pm unless otherwise stated on the timetable.  Candidates are expected to assemble, in full school uniform, in the Sportshall 15 minutes before the start of an exam.

In the event of serious illness during exams, or other circumstance that may affect your son/daughter’s performance in the exam, please contact me at the earliest opportunity.  The exam boards will require a doctor’s note to support any application made by the school for special consideration.  I must stress that the boards are only interested in the exam period and not illness prior to this.  If a student fails to attend an exam without a valid explanation you will be invoiced for the cost of the missed exam.

Results can be collected from school on Thursday 27 August 2009 between 11.00am and 12.00noon.  Please provide a stamp should you require the results to be posted to you.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns over exam entries.

Yours sincerely

Mrs J Woolcott
Exams Co-ordinator
