dd is more than half way through A Levels. She's been in the special needs room with extra time and a laptop, as she has a lot of wrist pain, has seen a consultant, and got a doctor's note from our GP which she handed in to school in good time. We got a reply from school saying that she had been given permission for extra time and the laptop. Now today, the head of 6th form has told her that her application for extra time was refused by the exam board. So we're thinking now, will her (printed) scripts not get marked now and therefore it will mess up her University application and she'll lose a year.
There is some suggestion that the teacher who send in the application may have re-applied, and the second application been successful. But this teacher wasn't in school today to ask if that had actually happened and get the whole thing resolved.
Do you think her work will get marked if she has followed everything that the school has told her to do; they issued the laptop to her for exam use and allowed her to use the special room and take the time breaks, with her name on the list of students in that room.
And even if it was all sorted out and turns out to be nothing, should they have been discussing it with her when she's still got 3 exams to sit, and causing all sorts of stress about whether her work is going to get marked or just discarded and she has to go back to square one for a year?
We just emailed the head to ask what is happening, we're hoping for a reply tomorrow, but we're just really concerned about what is going to happen.
