Update re Coronavirus

Yesterday, there was a new statement that escalated the precautions we need to take to limit the spread of this disease to a different level. Consequently it is with great regret that the Examinations Board has decided they must act within the Government guidelines and cancel the Examinations on March 21st.

We know how much work the candidates have put into the preparation for these exams and the decision has not been made lightly but we do not wish to put invigilators or candidates at risk for an activity which is not essential.

The free transfer of applications will extend to March 2021.


This has been sent out by the Exam board of the BBKA

Strange decision seeing all schools and colleges are currently open....although hiow ,long that will last is not sure.
Perhaps it's because all the exam invigilators are over 80 /wry grin/

You are very wicked Nigel!

(Not in the case of my local assoc. I have to say).

The virus is going to have a huge effect on our lives in ways that we haven't get got a grip with yet. Let's hope that the exams can resume next year.
