Dear Parents,

An announcement was made yesterday evening, by the exam board Cambridge


International that, because of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, all IGCSE, AS and A level
International May/June exams have been cancelled. This is added to the news that we
received at the end of last week about British National Exams and Edexcel examinations also
being cancelled.

The access to university is guaranteed to our students who have been offered a place at
university this September. Instead of the usual external examinations students´ achievements
will be assessed internally by each school and will be able to receive their A-Level certificates
worldwide. Schools assessments will be based on a combination of factors: coursework
completed, predicted results by schools and mock examination results. Cambridge will give us
clear guidelines by the end of this week. As soon as we have official information, we will be
sharing it with the community.

You can find the official updated information regarding Cambridge International
examinations and the UK Government (Edexcel Board guidelines/Ofqual) through these links:

levels-in-2020

We encourage our students not to stop working or lose motivation: they need, above all, to
prepare themselves for their internal exams. Our commitment is to dedicate all our efforts to
help students achieve their very best, reach their objectives and obtain admission to the
desired university.

Best wishes

Estimados padres,

Nos gustaría informarles que anoche, Cambridge International Examinations emitió un


comunicado oficial declarando que debido a la pandemia de Covid-19, los exámenes
IGCSE, AS y A-Level internacionales de mayo/junio 2020 se cancelaban. Cambridge, por
tanto, se une a la decisión tomada por el gobierno británico de cancelar los exámenes
nacionales (Edexcel) cuya comunicado fue emitida a finales de la semana pasada.

Nos gustaría aclarar que el acceso a la universidad de nuestros alumnos de Year 13, que ya
han sido admitidos mediante las notas predictivas, está garantizado. En lugar de los
exámenes externos habituales de Edexcel y Cambridge, este año, la evaluación y obtención
de los certificados de A-Level de los estudiantes se realizará internamente por cada colegio.
Las calificaciones se basarán en la combinación de varios ítems evaluativos: los proyectos, las
notas predictivas y resultados de exámenes y simulaciones (mock exams). A finales de esta
semana tendremos los procedimientos específicos sobre cómo se realizará la evaluación y el
proceso completo. Una vez conozcamos los detalles se los haremos llegar de inmediato.

Pueden encontrar la información oficial actualizada sobre los exámenes de Cambridge


International y el Gobierno del Reino Unido (directrices/Ofqual/Edexcel) a través de estos
enlaces:

Desde Sage College, animamos a nuestros alumnos a que sigan adelante con la misma
motivación mostrada como hasta ahora. Nuestro compromiso es dedicar el esfuerzo
necesario para que consigan sus objetivos y obtengan la plaza deseada en la universidad.

Atentamente
