40 Years of Ramgarhia  Panjabi School

2020-2021 changed the way we have taught at Ramgarhia  Panjabi School.  In November 2020 where many institutions were still closed we braved the world of online teaching.  As a teaching team we met online to understand the best way of teaching via Zoom, to ensure quality and continuity of learning was still taking place.  

 Fast forward to April 2021, the Panjabi School was opened for GCSE students and then later for Level 1.  During this time of change the commitment shown by both the teaching team and students has been tremendous.  This has ultimately reflected on the grades that have been achieved in the GCSE exams.

 Congratulations to our GCSE students who completed their GCSE exams this year.  After months of online learning, practice assessment to face-to-face learning and invigilated assessments we are pleased to inform you that our students have passed with flying colours!  We had 22 students registered for the exams, all of which were awarded A*-A passes.

Here are some of the Thank You messages we have received

Sat Sri Akal Penji,

I just wanted to tell you that I managed to get an 8/A in my Punjabi GCSE!!

Thank you so much for teaching me and I most definitely would not have been able to do this well without you. It’s actually quite sad that this means my learning of Punjabi is over but it also makes me feel accomplished. You are a great role model for me so I again want to thank you for everything.
