GCSE exams. These are official exams and
students will be required to attend normal
lessons when they do not have a scheduled
exam. Please make sure students have a
good breakfast and they have the correct
equipment with them for each exam,
including a calculator (if needed) and a black
pen. If they wish to, they may bring water,
but this needs to be in a clear plastic bottle
with the label removed. Please remind your
child that under no circumstances should
mobile phones be taken into exam rooms. If
your child is unable to attend any of their
exams, please call the attendance line as
usual and we will require a letter from your
doctor.
