Dear Parent/Carer,
Please be advised that your son/daughter may be involved in the Pearson (BTEC) January examination session, the details of which you can find in the table below.
Please note that these times (in some cases windows of time) are set by the board and are non-negotiable. Failure to attend MUST be accompanied by a medical note as evidence of illness. To support your child for these exams we have built in preparation sessions to help students for these exams. These sessions will be held before the exam, as close as possible to the exam time and we ask that you encourage your son/daughter to attend.

It is advisable that you highlight the examinations which are relevant to your son/daughter (using the examination timetable that would have been issued via their form tutor) and help support them through this period. Please be aware that an exam might be a retake exam (a unit that was completed last academic year). Your son/daughter should know exactly what they have been entered for, however, if they are uncertain please do not hesitate to contact me at school on this email address ppatterson@swr.school
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely
Ms Patterson
Head of Vocational Studies
