Summer term: Offers and GCSE results day
Last updated:Offers to students of a year 12 place
All year 11s can have a place to learn in the coming academic year. The Department for Education expects schools to help track their offers of learning.
Offers of learning must have a start date by the beginning of the January term. They may be conditional upon exam results or guaranteed.
We will send your school a file in the summer term via the secure AnyComms Plus website. Your school office will receive an email when your file is ready to download. We also issue an article in the School Bulletin to remind schools about this.
We include full details about how to complete the file, but in summary, you must tell us:
- Which students you have given an offer to for September
- If any of your current students only have an offer from another school or college
We also ask you to give us a contact telephone number and email address for the parent/student. We need this to track the student’s activity after Year 11 and to support them to continue learning.
For you to share this you must have issued the School Privacy Notice to students. You are only not allowed to share the information if the parent, or the pupil if they are age 16 or above, has objected.
Information for Year 11 Results Day
We would like Year 11 students to complete a form after their GCSE results. This is to tell us if they are moving on to education, training or work. We ask you to share a flyer about this with students and their parents/carers. The flyer explains the form, the Council’s role and that we may get in touch with them if we don't hear back.
You may wish to send this out before the official school leaving date and send a reminder at GCSE results time.
We will issue an article in the School Bulletin about this in June together with the flyer.
