2013 GCSE Results Day

GCSE results day 2013 is Thursday 22nd August 2013, when the school will be open from 10.30am until 12.30pm for Year 11 students 2012/13 (only) to receive their results. There will be no access to the school site before or after the aforementioned times.

Year 11 2012/13 pupils wishing to have their results posted to them, must supply a letter of request and an A5 stamped addressed envelope to Mr Clark by Monday 15th July 2013. All Year 10 students will receive the results of any examinations they have taken during the Summer 2013 session when they return to the school in the Autumn Term.

Notifications of Entry

Printed “Notifications of Entry” for the Summer exams will be issued to candidates by the respective Awarding Bodies in March 2012.  It is absolutely crucial that candidates check their “Notifications of Entry” to ensure that:

  1. Their personal details are correct.
  2. They have been entered for all examinations that they expect to take during the Summer session.
  3. That they have been entered for the correct level of exam – either Foundation or Higher.

Any errors on the Notification of Entry must be immediately referred to your subject teacher, who will resolve any issues with the undersigned.

GCSE Controlled Assessments

In addition to the above there are a number of GCSE subjects whose students will need to undertake “Controlled Assessments” in the classroom under “formal” or “less formal” conditions, as directed by the exam boards.  Once again these tests are set on specific dates and times in the months prior to the main “Summer” exams and student attendance at these tests is mandatory, if they are to successfully complete and receive an award for the subject concerned.   Dates & times will be notified to you by your subject teacher in due course.
