Internal Examinations Week - Update
Week Commencing Monday 20 May 2019 - Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and Lower Sixth
The normal teaching timetable for Years 7-10 and the Lower Sixth for next week has been suspended in order for the exams to run. All pupils have received an individualised exam timetable which will show exactly when each exam will take place. Pupils with access arrangements have been advised of any specific arrangements. Exams will be conducted as closely as possible to full exam regulations so pupils can start to get used to how they work. Please note that there has been a late change to the Year 10 exam timetable - Year 10 pupils have been emailed directly about this change.
Lower Sixth students are expected to be in school throughout the week; they will be able to revise silently in the Sixth Form Atrium in periods when they do not have exams. The results of these exams will play an important part in deciding on the predicted grades that the school will use on UCAS and other applications but they will of course be considered in the full context of a student’s progress and trajectory.
All Year 7-10 pupils have slots throughout the week when they can revise silently for papers later that day or later in the week. They should therefore make sure they have with them each day the relevant materials they wish to revise from. It is also a good idea to have a private reading book with them.
All pupils in Years 7-10 will be assigned to a specific room (their exam base) and they will take all the exams in that base for the whole week. This will hopefully make the process as simple as possible for them. This room information is located on their timetable.
Games lessons will continue as normal for all year groups throughout the week.
I wish all the pupils the very best of luck and we look forward to sharing with you how your child has done in our Exam Reports in June. If you have any questions about Exams Week, do please contact us.
