Year 11 Exams - Important Dates
Formal lessons end for Year 11 on Friday 1 May 2020 and the GCSE exam period runs from Monday 11 May 2020 until Wednesday 24 June 2020. Please read the notice from Shellagh Dodds, our Examinations and Assessments Manager, very carefully. It gives important information regarding exam timetables and the need for all pupils to be available up to and including Wednesday 24 June.
Year 11 Exams - Study Period Arrangements
Following the end of their formal lessons on Friday 1 May, Year 11 pupils may revise at home and come in only for their timetabled exams. Year 11 teachers will follow their usual timetable and be available to help pupils for the following week, 4 to 7 May. Any pupils wishing to come in to take advantage of that assistance must follow their full timetable for the days that they come in that week. Any pupils wishing to continue their independent study in school from Monday 11 May must report to one of the allocated study rooms and remain there for the day. Year 11 will have break, tutor time and lunch as per our normal school timetable.
Maintaining an accurate record of who has come in to study and where they are is of course essential from a Health and Safety perspective. Pupils who come into school must make sure to sign in and be registered either in their timetabled lessons initially or in their specific allocated study base from then on. Any pupils who do not follow those rules will have to revise at home.
Thank you for your support.
May I take this opportunity to wish all of Year 11 the very best of luck for their GCSEs. They have been working very hard and we have been delighted with the progress that the vast majority of pupils have already made between their first and second mock exams. They are on the home straight now. I am sure that they will reflect carefully on their mocks and take full advantage of the revision guidance they have received and the time they have left to prepare.
