Deputy Headteacher: Mark Nicholls, BA (Hons) The Ridgeway St Albans Hertfordshire AL4 9NX Letter No: 113/2021 t: 01727 799560 [email protected] 19 April 2021 www.sandringham.herts.sch.uk Dear Parents/Carers Re: Arrangements for the End of Year 11 and Year 13 Courses You will be aware of the Department for Education’s decision about the awarding of this summer’s GCSE and A level grades. Following the cancellation of public exams, this year’s grades will be generated by teacher assessment based on evidence. However, it is important to note that, in line with official guidance, each school will administer a rigorous system of moderation and quality assurance. This will include STASSH schools working together to facilitate the moderation process. Schools need to submit grades to the exam boards by 18 June 2021 and this date, therefore informs the decision about ‘leaving dates’ for Year 11 and Year 13 students. All schools in our STASSH group have agreed that these students will complete their studies at the May half term break, with the last day in school being the 28 May 2021; each school will have its own particular arrangements for each year group. However we would like to build in a cushion between the last day of school and the submission of exam grades. This may be useful if an individual student has missed an earlier assessment task and would provide an opportunity for that student to catch up. We would, therefore, ask that all students in Year 11 and Year 13 ensure they are available to come into their school during the week 7 – 11 June 2021, should the need arise. With best wishes to you and the students in our STASSH schools. Kind regards.

End of Term Newsletter - No 714 – 5 April 2019
End of term Newsletter - No 714 – 5 April 2019 With the sleet coming down today, it’s possible that the daffodils may feel they have come out a little early but nonetheless, now the clocks have gone back, we are really into springtime! As usual, the last week of term is still full of activity with trips returning, exchange partners visiting and groups preparing to head off to Italy and Iceland. In amongst all that, we also had time for a truly impressive Spring Concert on Monday evening at which the students (and some staff) excelled themselves. We’re certainly not winding down for the break! There’s plenty to read about in the following pages so I won’t delay you too long but as it is the end of term we do have some sad goodbyes to say. Firstly, Mrs Matthews (who joined us 6 years ago as Miss Bottomley) is moving to work closer to home at Queens’ School after a very successful time in charge of Food Technology. She has also been very involved in supporting our eco-schools work – especially our garden! – so we hope she’ll pop back with her spade for a visit. After an even longer ‘stretch’ at SJL, we are also incredibly sad to be losing Mrs Dunnet, our Office Manager, who has been part of the administration team since 2004. When all around her has been in chaos, she has been a voice of calm and reason, with nothing ever too much trouble, and we will miss her very much indeed.

DESCRIPTORS Access to Education; *Admission Criteria; *Admission (School); Case Studies; Educational Change; Educational Discrimination; Educational Policy; Foreign Countries; Free Enterprise System; *School Choice; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS England; *Local Education Authorities (United Kingdom); Reform Efforts; Wales ABSTRACT This paper presents four case studies that are part of a larger study on admissions arrangements and impacts on school admissions for all local education authorities (LEAs) in England and Wales. It examines factors influencing the social composition of schools. A total of 23 LEAs completed interviews about their secondary school admissions arrangements The four case study LEAs have significantly different market scenarios. Results show that recent national education policy has not been evenly implemented across LEAs. A combination of organizational, structural, and demographic factors have muted much of the potential impact of school reforms on school admissions. Normative patterns of school use have not been substantially affected by the market reforms or the administrative actions of LEAs. LEAs remain important arenas within which school choice operates because they define kinds of choice available to parents in their administrative boundaries.
