Dear Parents

Overnight, the UK Government took the decision to close all of their schools by the end of this week and to cancel the GCSE and A Level exams that were scheduled to take place in May. We will be working with the various Exam Boards today, in order to understand the implications for the upcoming GCSE and IGCSE exams here in Hong Kong. As soon as we have clarity, we will be in touch with you straight away.

In the meantime, it is prudent that we continue to work on preparing our students for their upcoming exams. Our teachers are all working hard with our students to ensure we are progressing and preparing well.

We will update you as soon as we can with any new information regarding the GCSE and IGCSE exam program.

Thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time.

Mark Blackshaw
KGV Principal

Dear Parent

The Hong Kong Government has announced that all kindergarten, primary and secondary school classes across Hong Kong are to be suspended until February 17. They have asked that students do not attend school during this period.

This action has been taken as a result of the situation regarding the Coronavirus, which I am sure you are all aware of.

We will be in touch with you again with details of what this means for home learning etc. For now, we just wanted you to know that this decision has been taken.

The deadline for the Student Grant Scheme has also been extended as a result of the suspension. Again, we will be in touch with you directly to let you know further details on that.

Thank you for your support,

Rob Shorthouse
Director of Communications
