Y12 Study Leave (jan2010)

4th December 2009 Dear Parent/Carer Year 12 - AS Examinations January 2010 This letter is to confirm arrangements for the AS examination period in January 2010 for Year 12. Your daughter/son will have external examinations which will take place from Monday 11th January 2010. An exam timetable has already been sent to students. Normal lessons will take place throughout the external examination period with the exception of study leave sessions as indicated below:

•

Students will be allowed half a day study leave to include Periods 1-3 in the morning prior to an afternoon examination if they wish.

•

Alternatively, they will be allowed study leave to include lunch and Period 4 and 5 in the afternoon prior to a morning examination if they wish. No study leave will be allowed on a Friday afternoon for a Monday morning examination.

Normal lessons will include a combination of vital revision work and the delivery of new units in some subjects. If your daughter/son misses any lesson due to an external examination or an agreed half day study leave then it is their responsibility to catch up on the work that has been missed. This is an important examination period and we would like to ask you to support your daughter/son in devising an early revision programme that will allow them to plan for their external examinations. The results for the external examinations are published on Thursday, 18th March 2010. We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and wish all the students’ every success with their examinations. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. Yours sincerely
