Re: Are there extra exam dates for 2011 entry ?

All Foundationer places for entry to Year 7 for September have now been allocated.
We will be looking at a number of children on Sat 26th March for possible entry into years 8,9 and 10 for September. There are some places available at each year group.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
