Examinations
It is important that pupils are aware of the exam information available from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). Our exams office has produced a guidance booklet for pupils, parents and carers here.
Please follow links for GCSE/GCE Timetables for Summer 2025: Y11GCSEs here and Y13 GCEs here. All pupils have been given their individual timetables as a hard copy and via email.
During study leave there will be timetabled revision sessions and pupils will have access to the canteen and library everyday until 12.30 for independent study. Please see this presentation for more information about how exams and revision sessions are organised.
Pupils meet in the canteen before each exam. Rooms for revision sessions will be emailed to pupils and displayed in the canteen.
