GL Assessment: Chapters 7 & 8: October
Social and emotional wellbeing is essential for effective learning, yet there will always be pupils who lack confidence in their learning and who don’t always feel connected with school and their teachers. PASS takes the guesswork out of understanding why this might be, focusing on three broad areas – how a pupil feels about themselves, their engagement with the curriculum, and their feelings about school. These correspond to nine factors proven to be linked to educational goals: feelings about school, perceived learning capability, self-regard, attitudes to teachers, general work ethic, attitudes to attendance, preparedness for learning, response to curriculum demands, and confidence in learning.
Reading Test Ages Chapters 7, 8 & 9 November

SUMMER PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS TIMETABLE 2025
Joint Contingency Examination Day for all Awarding Bodies - All candidates to remain available on
the afternoon of Wednesday 11 June and all of Wednesday 25 June 2025.
The Awarding Bodies have designated ‘contingency days’ for examinations. This is consistent with the qualification regulators’ document Exam system contingency plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland gov.uk
The designation of a ‘contingency day’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations. Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must remain available should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
