AS results - on second thoughts...

Folks, just had a look at the break down of grades for English Lit and there are some really strange marks in there that I'm sure are wrong. Mr. P is away on Holiday at the moment but I've organised a meeting with him next week when he returns. I have also sent off for some of your papers to be returned to the school (which costs quite a bit, unfortunately, so I couldn't ask for everyone's) to try and work out what on earth has happened.

If we have a look at the papers and something looks dodgy, we can ask for some of them to be re-marked - meaning the papers you wrote in the exam will be re-marked by someone else with a possibility of a new grade.

Our other option on some of them, once we have had a look, is to advise some of you to re-sit the exam later on this year. You don't have to do this - it does cost a bit of money and is no guarentee of a better mark - but it is an option. The deadline for applying for re-sits is 18th September. But please, don't make any decisions yet until Mr P and I have had a chance to look at the papers we sent off for. We want to make sure we give you good advice on this.

Hang in there, folks.

Oh, and don't panic. Mr. P and I want you to get the grades you deserve - and we will do all we can to get them for you.

Over and out.

Congratulations!

Just a quick note to say well done to all of my previously Y12, now going into Y13, students on your AS results. I always thought you had brains somewhere in there.

(If any of you didn't get the results you were hoping for then come and see me at the start of term and we can talk about it)
