Dear Parents,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am writing to inform you that our assessments for this term will be taking place from 20th February
2023 until 2nd March 2023. Attached to this letter, you will find a schedule of the assessments and a
revision topic list for your child.

We understand that assessments can be challenging for both students and parents, and we want to
ensure that your child is well prepared for this period. The revision topic list will provide you with an
overview of the material that will be covered in the assessments, and the schedule will give you an idea
of when each assessment will take place.

We encourage you to discuss the revision topic list with your child and to provide them with the support
they need to prepare for the assessments. We also recommend that your child should make use of the
available resources such as the text book, past papers and online resources.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We wish your child all the
best for the upcoming assessments.

Sincerely,

Edward Nutt
