Dear parents and carers,
RE: Vocational Exams for PE Voc, Media Voc and ICT
As you will be aware, there are a number of external exams scheduled to happen the week beginning 11th January 2021 notifications. As of the 5th January 2021 the Government directed that the school could choose if the exams go ahead.
We in LBBD have significant considerations:
In conclusion, we are cancelling the vocational exams at Sydney Russell for two reasons:
I am sure you appreciate this has not been an easy decision, but I am sure you appreciate my concerns regarding your child’s welfare.
Given that the exams that your son/daughter was due to take were modular, not taking the exam this January should not have a negative effect on their exam results. Please be reassured I will update you further when I have clarity regarding the alternative arrangements for our students and their external outcomes this summer.
