Autumn 2020 GCSE Re-sits

There are rules around sitting exams and you should read the documents below, make sure you understand them and ask questions if you need to. If you fail to follow regulations, issued by the Joint Council for Qualifications, you may be disqualified from the paper, the subject or all subjects. Murray Park School expects you to follow exam regulations without question.

Social Media: there are serious penalties for those students who make comments or pass on comments about exams on social media.

Exam timetables can be issued and revised by exam boards (awarding bodies) during the school year. They are firstly issued in a provisional format and then updated to a final format and you should note that exam dates and times can change.

The exam contingency period remains in force until Wednesday 24 June 2020. This is the last date that GCSE exams will be held and students should remain available until this date. The contingency period is to cover times of national disaster only and exams can only be moved into this slot by the exam boards. At no other time can an exam date be moved.

GCSE Results Day is Thursday 20 August 2020.

Replacement certificates: if you have lost your GCSE certificates you will need to contact each of the exam boards and give them your personal details so they can produce a replacement for you. They usually charge for this service.

Replacement statements of results/records of results: if you need a replacement history of your results you should contact Murray Park School Exams Office on 01332 540024 or email exams@murraypark.derby.sch.uk to make enquiries about a copy. You should will be asked for your full name, date of birth and year the exams were taken.

Re-sits are available to former Year 11 students who originally had entries for the exams in Summer 2020. You should complete the re-sit request form in your results pack and put it in the post box in main reception by Friday 4 September 2020. These exams are for GCSE only. You must be available to attend all your exams and follow any regulations set by the Joint Council for Qualifications and those set by Murray Park School. You should be prepared to study independently for these exams although virtual booster sessions may be available (to be confirmed). If there are less than 100 entries for a subject, across England, then the exam boards reserve the rights to remove a subject from the timetable. Dates for the Art & Design suite (art, photography and textiles) are not yet confirmed.

If you would like to re-sit GCSE Maths or English Language and gained grades 1, 2 or 3 your new Sixth Form or College will be responsible for making entries for you. If you gained grade 4 or higher and want to retake Maths or English Language then Murray Park School will be able to make entries for you. If in doubt please speak to the school or email examsupport@murraypark.derby.sch.uk

These exams and the results will be based on examination only – there will be no inclusion of Non-Exam Assessment or Coursework.
