Hi Greg

  Extra time - of course they can have it if they meet the criteria!  You
need to make sure that they get it in mocks and so on.  Too late to apply
for Year 9 SATs now.  Don't need to apply for GCSE, just have the evidence.

  Handwriting - even with years 9 and 10 try Speed Up!: A Kinaesthetic
Programme to Develop Fluent Handwriting (Paperback) by Lois Addy (Author).
Good fun and helps pupils a lot.

  Hi,

We currently have two students (1 in year 9 the other in year 10) whose
handwriting is giving the parents and school a serious cause for concern. 

The parents have requested 'extra time' in their exams. I have looked at
their writing and it is legible - only just! Our examinations officer claims
that they are not entitled to any extra time as they have not received any
extra time in previous exams. Is this right?

Also, we intend to spend about 30 minutes each week on a one to one basis to
help the pupils improve their handwriting. Any ideas what to do? Bearing in
mind that these pupils are 14 - 15 year old males.

Any advice is appreciated.

Take care,

Greg
