Dear Parent/Carer
Year 11 Mock Examinations
To continue to help prepare our Year 11 students for their GCSE examinations next summer, Year 11 Mock Examinations will take place between Monday 4th December and Wednesday 20th December 2023. The majority of these mock examinations will take place in the Auditorium and will be completed under formal examination conditions.
A mock examination timetable is available to view on the website along with topic guidance from each subject area. Please make sure your child refers to this information as it will help them enormously and complement the preparation that has already started in lessons.
For these mock examinations please note the following:
- Students need to ensure that that they are punctual for each of their mock examinations, with the correct equipment and with enough time to check the seating plan etc. Phone calls home will be made in the event of a student being missing at the start of an examination.
- Students will follow their normal school timetable unless they have a mock examination or are involved in additional study and subject sessions.
- Students must be in full school uniform during this period - the school standards regarding uniform and appearance remain unchanged.
Please take time to discuss mock examination preparation work with your son/daughter.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish your son/daughter every success with their mock examinations. With thorough preparation and organisation, students will be in a position to produce encouraging results in readiness for the summer examinations.
As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns or queries.
Best wishes
Mr S Clarke Miss L Williams

Dear Parent/Carer,
The Year 11 Mock Examinations will take place from Monday 4th December 4th to Wednesday 20th December. Thorough revision for these examinations is essential and the feedback from these examinations will provide valuable feedback supporting students in preparation for their GCSE examinations in the Summer term.
We would like to invite you to a Year 11 Independent Study Support Evening on Wednesday 22nd November 2023, please confirm your attendance via Schoolcomms . By attending, you will be provided with key information about the Year 11 learning journey and how you can effectively support your child at home with their GCSE study. The talk will focus on revision strategies, and how you can support your child with their revision and independent study at home. Additionally, you will receive a Parental Information Support pack containing key information and support materials.
We would very much appreciate your attendance at this event, and your ongoing support in ensuring your child fully understands the importance of the coming months and applies their full attention to examination preparation both in school and at home.
Best wishes,
Mr Clarke
Head of Year 11
