This includes ADI part 2 and 3 tests and standards checks. We'll email pupils who are affected by this to let them know we will reschedule their test. If you have booked a test for any of your pupils you will receive an email to let you know it will be rescheduled to a new time and date. You will need to contact your pupil to let them know. We’ll then send you an email with the new time and date as soon as possible; please ask your pupils to be patient.
