School closed - what now?

With schools closed and exams officially cancelled, we are very much in uncharted waters for exam students.

However, we are going to continue posting the remaining work we would have set you. The main reason for this is that the government has not made it entirely clear how grades are going to be awarded but they have said that any student unhappy with the grade they are given can sit exams next year to try and increase their grade. In case any of us find ourselves in that position, we need to make sure we have completed the course and learned every CSP. This means we have a simple job to do: finish newspapers. This means ensuring the following is complete:


The final work to post next week is MailOnline and the ‘i’ CSP case study. We’ll be working on those up until Easter and then will see how things are looking after that.

I’m so sorry you won’t get the chance to prove how brilliant you are at Media but I’m hopeful the grading process will be fair and you will get the grade you deserve. We can’t tell you what that will be but we can assure you we’ll do everything in our power to make sure nobody loses out.

For now, we’ll email you the work each Monday and also post it to the Year 13 Media blog as usual.
