Ukrainian Exams in Edinburgh clashing with GCSEs

[Mrs B Sakazaki]

Hello some of our Year 11 EAL are studying for GCSEs whilst still doing Ukrainian studies.  Exam dates for their Ukrainian  studies were released today.  They  clash  on days with  GCSEs.  The Ukrainian  exam venue is Edinburgh. This is over 2 hours away from  us.  They can not  sit both at the same time nor miss one. 

We are trying to  make contact with the organisation to see what can be done. Just  wondering if others have a similar  issue and have had any  dialogue with the  organisation to find a workable solution.  Best case would be our school being able to host the Ukrainian exams here.  Seems most are for  half a day -approx 4 hours.

Thanks 

Bridget

Hello,

I've got some Ukrainian students in my school. I'll find out whether there are any clashes for my students. I haven't heard as for yet as they have already started taking GCSEs and iGCSEs.
