We will start the process of tag-testing students who are ready to take that next step.  If we feel they are ready they will receive a black tag plus a letter explaining all the details of the Grading Day.

For those students who are not quite ready at this point they have nothing to worry about.  We have another Grading booked for Sunday, 10th December 2017 (Canterbury).

I look forward to seeing you all in class very soon.
