Hi Mandy We have been doing this for years. All grades 3 and below. This year we have around 600 on English and 600 on Maths. We shut the college for the morning and use all staff to invigilate and all rooms pretty much. It’s a mammoth task but we get through it. The hardest part is doing the concession bags all ready the morning of the exam. Think we will be in at 4am this year!!! -----Original Message----- From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lorna Willmott Sent: 13 September 2018 10:14 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: GCSE Re-sits Hi Mandy We’ve had very large resits for several years now - only entries for our own awarding bodies - last year just grade 3s, this year not sure yet!

Entries are restricted to those learners who have a grade 3 from the summer and we are entering them all through EDEXCEL, it looks like we are going to have around 260 Maths entries, which is going to create problems with rooming and extra staff to assist our small invigilation team. We are restricting GCSE English entries to learners who sat there original exam with us in the summer and were within 5 marks of a grade 4 (more sensible) Happy Days Richard Harrison Examinations Officer at Stafford College Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group Tel: 01785 275458 | email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | <image001.jpg> www.nscg.ac.uk<http://www.nscg.ac.uk/> | www.nulc.ac.uk | www.staffordcoll.ac.uk<http://www.staffordcoll.ac.uk/> From: The FE Exams Network mailing list <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> On Behalf Of John Carroll Sent: 13 September 2018 09:49 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: GCSE Re-sits Nor do we John Carroll Deputy Examinations Manager Wiltshire College & University Centre College Road | Trowbridge | Wiltshire | BA14 0ES T: 01225 756408 | W: wiltshire.ac.uk<http://www.wiltshire.ac.uk/> [http://www.wiltshire.ac.uk/images/wc_logo_bg.png] From: The FE Exams Network mailing list <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> On Behalf Of Sue Heritage Sent: 13 September 2018 09:45 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: GCSE Re-sits We don’t either.

If a student has sat a GCSE at school and wants to re-sit in November, do you allow them to re-sit at your Centre even if you don’t offer that Awarding Body or Syllabus? Is there any Awarding Body rules that prevents you from doing this?
