Summer 2021
As you will be aware following the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the UK government has decided that the Summer 2021 exams will not go ahead as planned. Instead teachers will determine grades based upon a range of evidence verified by the school. Theses results will be reviewed by the exam boards before awarding the final grades.
