Loving God, as our young people begin this time of exams,They may feel some anxiety and frustration.
Help them to stay focused. Give them a clear mind, to perform to the best of their ability.
Help them to study with dedication and vigour.Grant them silence so that they may process the knowledge they have
obtained.Let them sleep peacefully at night, so that they are refreshed and
renewed for their upcoming exams.
Be with them, gentle God, during these days.Undoubtedly, there will be moments when they want to quit and give
up.Please sustain them, Holy One.
Guide them during times of trouble.
Amen.

Revision Plans in School

Re-Sits – new regulations
• The first grade will also appear on your certificate
• Only the LATEST exam score will be used to calculate the final grade.
• This will happen even if the new marks are lower than the previous mark.
• Re-sitting could be a risk.
![Page 24: Welcome To ‘In It Together’ Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812ece550346895d946cbe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The teachers will support your child if they choose to re-sit but it must be a decision that is carefully thought through.
• Is their current grade an accurate reflection of your childs ability?
• Does your child have the time to revise for two units of work?
• Remember they are also studying for the Additional GCSE this year.
![Page 25: Welcome To ‘In It Together’ Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812ece550346895d946cbe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Questions to ask your child
• Is the overall mark close to the boundary?• Can I they make up the difference by securing
an excellent score in my final exam?• How are they preparing for the final CORE
exam?• Can they make up the difference by securing
an excellent ISA score?• Deadline for entry: 15th October 2012
