Letter to Parents of Year 11 and Year 13 Students

 

March 25^th 2020

Dear Parents and Students

 

Government has stated GCSE and A level examinations will not take place this summer but they will ensure students receive their examination results.  There are a lot of ‘maybes’ appearing in the media about this but once the Government’s proposals around this are published we will let you know. The following link to Gov.UK publications shows that Government planning is progressing but is still at an early stage.

When we receive definitive information we will of course share this with you.

 

In the meantime, students should remember our key messages prior to their departure:

 

Year 11

1. Maintain regular study routines. Study as if you were sitting your GCSEs.
2. Remember, when you start A levels it will greatly help if you if you have maintained strong study habits between now and September and that you have good levels of subject knowledge to start an A level course in a subject.
3. The same clearly applies if you will be taking your next steps after Year 11 at a provider other than Brockhill.

Above all, follow all Guidance on Social Distancing and Stay Safe.

 

Year 13

1. Maintain regular study routines. Study as if you were sitting your A levels.
2. Remember, when you start your Degree it will greatly help if you if you have maintained strong study habits between now and September and that you have good levels of subject knowledge to start a Degree.
3. Get ahead. What reading will you have to do from next September – December in your chosen course? What essays will you have to write? What exams will you have to sit?

The same clearly applies to other employment, study or apprenticeship destinations.

You will find material to support you in your subjects in Brockhill student resources.

 

Above all, follow all Guidance on Social Distancing and Stay Safe.
