IGCSE and IBDP Examinations Update
Nexus learners in Year 11 sit IGCSE examinations in May and June. One of our examination boards, Edexcel, has announced they will not be running examinations. We are working with the examination boards to find out how learners will be graded now that the IGCSEs in Mathematics, Geography, History and English Literature have been cancelled. It is likely to be a combination of internal tracking, coursework and teacher assessment. We will confirm more when we have the details from the examination board. Please rest assured we will update you when we know more. Learners from last year were still able to be certificated when examinations were cancelled and we anticipate it will be the same this year.
Yesterday we received an update from the IB that at present the dual route for the IB assessment will go ahead for the May 2021 session. This means that both the usual examination route will be offered and where exams cannot be safely run, the non examination route will be offered. We are waiting for confirmation that Singapore schools will offer the examination route.
To help understand how grades are calculated via the two routes, please click here. We will update you when we have more information.
Please continue to use Teamie (The Hub) to check on home learning. We use the Parent Portal in Engage to log incidents and achievements, share reports and book parents evening appointments. You can find plenty of details about our curriculum by going to the Downloads section on the Parent Zone on the Nexus website.
