2nd May 2023

Dear Parents,

The examination period for Term 3 will be held from Monday 22nd May until Friday 9th June. We have
spread this over a longer period as there are some days off in the middle. Please refer to the school
calendar.

Please note that assessments throughout the term, as well as the work produced in classes contribute
towards a student’s grade – not only the results of these examinations. Additional homework will be
provided to further support the revision of these topics. Take note of the subjects that are relevant.

Finally, this is not meant to cause any stress for the children or parents. These assessments will take
place as part of their normal lessons. We do not want children to feel uneasy or worried about the
assessments.

Please come and see or email us if you have any questions.

Regards,
The Year 8 Team
