All of our students will have formal end of year assessments over the coming weeks to assess their knowledge and understanding as follows:
Year 11: GCSE examinations (start W/C 6th May)
Year 10: Y10 mocks (W/C 16th June)
Year 9: BASE and GL assessments (W/C 2nd and 9th June)
Year 8: BASE and GL assessments (W/C 2nd and 9th June)
Year 7: BASE and GL assessments (W/C 2nd and 9th June)
Preparation is key and students must do some independent learning and revision out of school hours in order to achieve their best and to support the excellent work they are doing in school.
In PSHE lessons we are teaching students how to revise. They create revision timetables and learn a range of techniques they can use to revise effectively. Their teachers will also provide plenty of resources to support their exam preparation.
For our Y10 students who wil expereience the formality of how their GCSE exams will run for the first time, we were really pleased to welcome Aim Higher into school yesterday to deliver an assembly and workshops about effective study skills. Students commented on how useful they had found the session and how it made them realise what they should be doing to achieve success.
We will continue to prepare students over the coming weeks and wish them all the very best of luck in the exams when they come.
