Please ensure that students are aware that starting times of exams are exactly that: the start time. The students are expected to be at their exam venue well before the exam is due to start. For the Mathematics examination, students entitled to extra time will need to be at the exam venue no later than 1:10pm. Students must also ensure that they have sufficient pens, pencils, equipment etc. Please check that calculator batteries are replaced and that specific equipment such as protractors etc. are brought from home. We cannot provide any spare equipment. An examination requirement is that all writing equipment is kept in a transparent container, so please ensure that your son/daughter is equipped with either a transparent pencil case or a plastic bag. Mobile phones/electronic devices/MP3 players/smart watches are not permitted near examination rooms under any circumstances. If, for whatever reason, your son/daughter is unable to attend an examination, please notify school immediately by either phoning 01275 334225 or via email exams@chewvalleyschool.co.uk. We expect our students to perform to the best of their ability and strive to set and maintain high standards. Trial examinations are part of this important preparation process. Following trial exams, full feedback will be provided to students in English and Mathematics classes. This will provide strategies to help your son/daughter achieve the best possible grades in the summer. Yours sincerely,
