Religious Observance – Eid-al-Adha

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Mr T Smith

The religious festival of Eid-al-Adha is due to take place on or around the 7th of November this year.

As our Year 10 & 11 pupils are in the final stages of their GCSE preparation it is vital that they maximise their opportunities to succeed in the examinations. These will take place on 8th, 9th, 11th and 14th November in maths and in English.

This year’s GSCE exams are :

Day	Date	Start	Title	Duration
Tue am	08-Nov-11	8.30	English Paper 1 Foundation	1h 45m
Tue am	08-Nov-11	8.30	English Paper 1 Higher	1h 45m
Wed pm	09-Nov-11	1.00	Maths Linear F NO CALCULATOR	1h 30m
Fri pm	11-Nov-11	1.00	English Paper 2 Foundation	1h 30m
Fri pm	11-Nov-11	1.00	English Paper 2 Higher	1h 30m
Mon am	14-Nov-11	8.30	Maths Linear F CALCULATOR	1h 30m

We wish to assure you that all religious observances are recognised and respected, we have always celebrated our multi-cultural dimension and value this aspect of our ethos greatly. However, we are concerned that any absence from school or break from studies in the run-up to these important exams could jeopardise our pupils’ chances of success.

We wish to gain your support on this matter by asking you to limit the time you take your son/daughter out of school on this occasion to no more that 1 day. Clearly if your son/daughter is sitting an English examination on 8th November they must be in school on that day and they must have been given adequate encouragement to prepare for the exam prior to this day.

If your son/daughter attends study at mosque or any other study provision outside school we would welcome opportunities to work more closely with them to help to support your son/daughter in their achievement.

A letter will be sent out directly to parents next week and we would be grateful, therefore, if you could return a slip to indicate this.
