GCSE AND A LEVEL EXAMS Usually the main public examinations start in May (a timetable will be sent to parents and published here nearer the time) but this year there are no public examinations. The grades in 2021 will be determined by teachers and then, following quality assurance, the results will be issued by the exam boards, who remain accountable for the results. The exam boards will record the grades on certificates in the same way as in previous years. Results days for 2021: A Level on Tuesday 10th August (students are invited to school between 830-930am) and GCSE on Thursday 12th August (pupils are invited to school between 9-10am). Certificates are normally available from the first week of November. An email or letter will be send to parents with these details nearer the time. If you have any queries regarding examinations, please contact our Examinations Manager, via the contact form. Examination Boards Year 11 Revision Resources CLUBS IN SCHOOL At Saint Cecilia’s, we are proud of the wide range of the extra-curricular clubs available to pupils. Children should make the most of the clubs on offer and we expect all pupils to attend at least two extra curricular activities per week. Clubs are run by current members of staff and a new list is updated at least every term. Year 7 pupils starting with us in September will receive a new list of clubs on the second week of the autumn term. There is normally a clubs' fair for pupils in school on the first week of autumn term to give the children an opportunity to select what is available to them. Clubs change every term so please check this area of the website for updates. Clubs/Extra Curricular Timetable September 2021 SPORTS FIXTURES Saint Cecilia’s has a reputation for producing successful school teams in a wide range of sports including rugby, netball, and football. Representing the school is an honour and it is treasured by our pupils. Discipline, teamwork, rigour and competitive spirit are all key elements to us, along with the most important of them all, fun! Team sheets and fixtures are published in our sports portal. We ask pupils and students to check the team sheets in plenty of time and let the teacher know if there are any problems asap. If your child has been attending club and has not been selected this time, please do encourage perseverance…..persistence beats resistance! We will always pick from clubs first and foremost.
