I would be interested in your
replies as we also have a student whose grandmother has just died and she is
due sit GCSE English and think the funeral will be on the same date.
I’m thinking in our case that on
applying for special consideration AQA will give her a result based on her
submitted coursework and the estimated grade given by the tutor??
Also– if her exam unit result is
based on the estimated grade – is there mention made of this on her certificate
– that she did not sit the test??
Many thanks

Subject: Special Consideration for Absence - attending funeral?
Hi all,
Refresh my memory if you would – we have a candidate who has
unfortunately lost a grandparent, and thinks the funeral (in Bedfordshire) may
end up coinciding with an exam in the first week of June.
It is an A2 exam & she is certificating this summer – if we
put in a special consideration for absence for this reason, will the awarding
body dismiss it out of hand, or will they consider making adjustment to the
terminal grade?
Basically, I can’t recall if attending a funeral is considered
“acceptable reasons” for this purpose!
Any memory-jogging gratefully received!
Regards
Daniel Lorne
