Dear students, parents and carers,
Following the cancellation of this year’s summer exams, the Department for Education and Ofqual have launched a consultation seeking views on how to award grades in a way that reflects students’ performance accurately, recognising the disruption they have faced this year.
Please follow this link to access the CEO's latest letter to all parents/carers.
Dear Students and Parents,
Gavin Williamson, the Education Secretary, confirmed in the House of Commons today that GCSE, AS and A-level exams will not go ahead this year. He said he wished 'to use a form of teacher assessment grades, with training and support provided to ensure these are awarded fairly and consistently across the country'.
All Corby Technical School students who have a BTEC examination scheduled tomorrow (6 January) should attend as planned.
Dear Parents,
Following tonight’s announcement by the Prime Minister, the only children who should be attending school tomorrow are those in the vulnerable category or those whose parents are critical workers. The definitions for both these categories can be found here.
Dear Parents and Carers,
The government has revised the schedule for the return of secondary age students in January.
You will no doubt be aware of the government’s decision to stagger the return of secondary students to school in January.
