In November you are able to take any GCSE exams you had been due to sit in summer 2020 should you wish to improve on the grade you were awarded.
The exams will take place from November 2nd – 23rd 2020.
If you definitely do wish to sit the exam at Cambourne Village College in November:
In October you will receive an exams timetable confirming all the times of your exams.
Due to the current climate, and following guidance, results day will be running differently this year.
Rather than coming into school to collect results, they will be available to Year 11 students on Go4Schools from 8am on Thursday 20th August. Students will be able to log in to Go4Schools and see their results. Results can also be downloaded to a PDF document directly from Go. The App can be used for this, but the web version may work better, and students can access this at this address: https://www.go4schools.com/students/Login.aspx?rurl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.go4schools.com%2fstudents%2fdefault.aspx%3fnla%3d0
Year 11 students are being asked to check their Go4Schools login details before the end of term. There is an option on Go4Schools to reset their password if needed. If there are any IT problems that aren’t resolved by resetting their password (for example issues with the school email address) the IT team can be contacted on: CAM-Support@cambournevc.org
The school will also be posting out paper copies of results on results day to the home address we have on record. We are asking any year 11 students to let us know if there will be a change of address before results day, on the exams email address below.
Please DO NOT come into school on results day – information will be sent out to students on the day about how to get in touch and speak to someone directly, if needed.
Once results have been released a follow up email will be sent to students to their school email address giving details of next steps and options. Please look out for further emails from the school rather than contacting the school immediately.
School email addresses for Year 11s will be active until the end of August, so these should be checked for any updates that may be sent.
