Dear Year 12 students,
Please find here the schedule for the term 3 summative assessments: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TEnwk2_pqpVGU4A0IAI-w8YuOlLy0tZ6/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109859845404906024290&rtpof=true&sd=true
Please note that there will be no timetabled lessons taking place during this week. The assessments are slightly longer than previous term 1 and 2 assessments as they will be more synoptic in nature and, hence, cover more of the syllabus.
Your subject teachers should be providing you with details about content that the assessments will cover i.e. syllabus statements to revise. Some subjects have chosen not to have an assessment during this week as they will use IAs as the term 3 assessment.
The assessments are designed to give you a realistic examination experience and so will be administered by invigilators. As with all summative assessments, your results will be used to contribute to your overall attainment grade.
On Friday, May 17th at 6pm, immerse yourself in the works of our Year 13 students at the annual BTEC 2024 Art & Design exhibition hosted by KGV.
Renowned artist Leanne Claxton will join us as our special guest. The exhibition will open its doors from 4pm to 7pm, but the official opening ceremony will take place at 6pm. We extend a heartfelt invitation to parents, families, and the vibrant KGV community to come out and show their support!
AS3 and the enchanting roof garden behind it will serve as the backdrop for this event.
Don't forget to visit the students' website at https://kgvarty.myportfolio.com/exhibit to get a sneak peek of their exceptional artwork.
Join us in celebrating the creativity and dedication of these young artists. We can't wait to see you at the BTEC 2024 Art & Design exhibition!
The KGV Sports Awards for 2023/24 will be held on Thursday 20th June with a 6pm start in the school hall.

Dear IB May 2024 candidate
As you are aware, the final IB examinations begin on April 24 2024. The full examination period lasts for four weeks and during this time Diploma students will be taking between 10 and 16 examinations in various subjects. Therefore your preparations for all of these examinations should be well under way. For many there will not be much time between the end of one exam and the beginning of the next for further preparation.
The last formal day of classes for IB Diploma students is Wednesday 10th April. Although there will be no scheduled lessons after this time, your teachers will be available during the times when they would normally be teaching you. If you do wish to speak to them during this time then please email them in advance. In the meantime please use the Easter break sensibly to continue your exam preparation. We wish you all the best.
Please find 11 documents (click here) which should be studied carefully:
Important information on examination procedures is explained in this booklet. You should be able to find answers to most of your questions here, including how to obtain your results, calculator regulations, and what to do in the event of adverse weather.
This shows all IB examinations taking place at KGV including start times and venues. All students should be outside the exam room at least 20 minutes before the examination is due to start to have their attendance taken. Before coming to school on the day of the exam, please check the venue again.
Students are reminded to bring their HKIDs with them into the examination. Valuables such as wallets/purses, watches and mobile phones must be left in lockers. Additionally, students should check the Examination Notice in KGV website regularly for any important announcements.
On behalf of KGV staff, we wish you all the best for your examinations.
