Well, that's it for another exam season. Tuesday saw the last external exam being sat. Pupils have, once again, responded so positively to what is, a very challenging period.
Some basic exam facts:
- The formal exam period started on May 13th and ended on 25th June
- 121 different exams/papers were sat
- The largest exam was the GCSE RS short course with 206 candidates
- To reflect the multicultural nature of the school exams were sat in Begali, Persian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Dutch in addtional to Spanish, French and Welsh
- The longest exam was 3hours (AEA Maths) and the shortest was 35 minutes (languages listening exams).
We now await the results in August with A level/BTEC results day being on Thursday 15th August and GCSE/BTEC the following Thursday (22nd). Judging by the positive way pupils have approached the exams, I am sure they will do well.
Now our thoughts turn to the 'prom' and celebrating with our year 11 pupils their time with us at Bishop Gore. They deserve a party!
