A pupil’s suitability for a course will be determined by their prior attainment, targets relating to IEP and each pupil’s individual interests, needs and capability.
At Key Stage 4 pupils will be entered for either Entry Level Certificate or GCSE examinations depending upon their level of ability and providing the requirements of the examination course have been completed successfully.
The following exemptions apply to entry for examinations:
- If the parents/carers of the pupil concerned make a request in writing for their child not to be entered.
- If the Governors choose not to enter the pupil on education grounds (this decision will normally be delegated to the Headteacher and/or staff).
- Parents/carers of pupils not being entered for an examination will be informed.
