What happens if isolating/positive on day of 11plus test

Hi

I seem to be surrounded by friends who are testing positive/isolating. If the evitable does happen and we also test positive, what happens re the 11plus - would children get to sit it again or would they go on school assessments?

Thanks

Hopefully you would be given the backup date.

There will be others who will end up in the same position and there were plenty last year who were allocated the backup dates in North London and Herts DG

It seems so vague... I think it would be helpful to understand if there is a specific process. There is nothing on the Bucks Grammar School website.

What happens if a child is ill on the day of the test or during a test?

Schools have clear instructions about how to deal with such circumstances. If children are unable to take the test, they will be able to do so on a later occasion.


So presumably your DC's primary school if IC, or the school they are allocated to sit the test, if OOC, should be able to let you know what the back-up arrangements are?
