Dear All
(Usual cross posting apologies)
I am getting reports from a number of places of problems being
faced by students on non-standard academic years - usually where
courses start in January / February (mid way through the year) or
April.
Many of the problems are down to Local Authorities insisting that
the student should receive a partial assessment between their start
date and the end of the "standard" academic year and a new
assessment from September onwards, when they are part-way
through an academic year.
I'd be grateful if colleagues could provide examples, if you have any
in your respective institutions, of this happening.
Please email me off-list at [log in to unmask] with details
of:
The institution
Course
Academic year dates
LEAs concerned
Speedy replies would be very welcome!
Many thanks
Keith
