Broken thumb

[redcap58]

Does anyone know the procedure regarding the test and broken bones. My son has broken his thumb today and will be in a cast for 4-8 weeks. Also, are allowances made for a weak hand, if he were to have his plaster off before test day; he has broken his thumb on his writing hand. Many thanks.

You haven't said which school, but I'd suggest you contact them directly and ask them.

I know of two students who broke their hand during the exams. You need to contact the school and they will allocate your dc a scribe. They will dictate their answers to them and they will write them down. DG

Gosh, those Herts exams must be tough if kids are breaking bones during them.

Sympathies with the break. We are veterans here, I think one of mine is going for some kind of record .

DD broke her finger a few weeks before the 11+. We had it recorded in case she needed the evidence. It did slow her down slightly and she was in pain during the exam. I gave her paracetamol before the tests.
