IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We are aware of the latest announcements by our global partners, the UK School Examination boards not to run international examinations in the May/June 2020 series worldwide, in light of the Covid-19 outbreak.
We recognise what a challenging time this is for students and teachers, and how hard students have been working towards these exams. We are working closely with the Examination boards and will share more information with our schools and candidates as soon we are able.
