Year 13 RESIT Group

Update for you all guys, is that I will be meeting with MS1 Exam resit candidates every Tuesday until the exam in January. Following the exam I will run the MS2 Coursework resit class from January to the end of April (if needed). This will help support you all fully whilst giving you the attention and time needed to improve your work. However if you are resitting coursework, it would be wise to begin improving your work in your own time, especially if you are applying to studying Media at University as you should include your coursework in your portfolio. If you work on your coursework before January and you want advice or your work remarked please speak to me.

Tomorrow will be for exam candidates so please bring the work set from last week on the blog.

Thanks, Mrs McCarthy
