Mock Exam Timetable

Pupils will be expected to continue with all lessons when they are not in exams from Wednesday 2^nd to Wednesday 16^th December. Please note that some of the examination will run over periods 5 & 6, so students might not finish their examination until 4pm. If X does not have an exam period 5 then they will be leaving school at 3.10pm over the mock period.

Year 11s will be on study leave for the exams from Thursday 17^th December until Friday 18^th December. We have reduced the amount of Study Leave this year to ensure that we maximise the teaching and catch up time available in school.

When on study leave they should only come into school whey they have an examination to sit. If they have more than 1 examination in a day they should make arrangements to leave the school site in-between.

Pupils need to remember they must attend all examinations in full school uniform, including blazers and should be fully equipped (clear pencil case with black pens, pencils, rubber, ruler, calculator when required and highlighters for some subjects).

Any students who have missed examinations will be required to attend on the afternoon of Thursday 17^th and the morning of Friday 18^th December, these arrangements will be made directly with the pupils involved.

Should any examinations be outstanding after this, individuals will be required to complete them in a Headteacher’s 2-hour detention when we return in January.

Virtual Information Evening

Normally by now we would have held our Year 11 Information Evening where exam guidance and revision techniques would have been discussed.  We have recorded this information in a virtual form.
