Year 11 Mock Exam Schedule (27 February – 7 March)

Our final series of Mock Exams for Year 11s runs between 27 February – 7 March as we build on the exam technique and spot the final gaps as we head into the final exams in Summer 2023.

Certainly, with plenty of revision support in assemblies and lessons, revision materials readily available via Show My Homework, and with Saturday Schools and after-school boosters flowing, there is every chance for every student to do their very best.

Bex Oldfield, Assistant Headteacher, said: “There is no doubt that those students who take these exam seriously put themselves at a huge advantage for the final exams in the Summer. They can get on top of revision, learn from mistakes, and be even better prepared for the real thing. We have so many students working incredibly hard that we are excited to see what grades they come out with. They will then likely only get better in May/June.”

Matt Allman, Headteacher, added: “With the right balance of support and challenge, our students understand the importance of these exams to their future career steps and wider life chances. Nothing ends with GCSE exams, but life does get a lot easier if they go as well. Each year our students do us proud and the expectations are no lower with this cohort. Indeed, we have already seen some superb performances in the earlier vocational exams and coursework activities.”
