We have had the spreadsheet too and luckily we have most of the certificates, just over 200 in total. Our Business Advisor wants to visit but we have said that we want to focus on sorting this out first and then we can meet. I was hoping the “toolkit” would have a letter in it that would explain the situation and apologise to the student. I thought the error only came to light very recently, surely we would have still received the February result, just maybe an incorrect one! It is all very worrying. We were already considering moving our FS to Edexcel and I think this looks more likely to happen now.

Our Business Advisor said we would be getting a visit to apologise but its really the students who need apologising to. I would at least expect a letter which we could pass on explaining the error on C&G’s behalf. We’re missing quite a few results from February exams and our Business Advisor said this was because they were withholding results due to the error, but this wasn’t communicated to us. Plus as these results should have been with us in March, how long have they known about this error before Friday’s letter?

We seem to be having communication from our Business Advisor but we haven’t yet received the “toolkit” that is supposed to help us. Our main concern is that we now have a lot of students to get in for a re-sit in May and then potentially if they need another re-sit there won’t be time before the end of term. We also have a large amount of students who haven’t yet received a FS result, some of these students sat the exam in February, is anyone else in this position?
