Mock exams are always an important part of GCSE preparation. It is essential students sit their mocks in a formal setting, under full exam conditions and experience something that is as close to the real thing as possible. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the progress that they have made and to learn how they can improve further.
We know students worked tirelessly to prepare for these exams, with weekly attendance at period 6 sessions in core subjects and completing thorough revision at home. During the mock exam period our school values of ambition and dedication have been evident every day. Even the interruption of the snow day didn’t deter students! As we come to the end of the mock examination period, we must congratulate students on their efforts. Staff are already busily assessing papers, eager to know what students have done well and what will be the focus of support over the next few months.
At the end of December, we will be holding a mock exam result day to emulate the summer results day. We hope that this will be a positive experience for students and if not, students recognise what they need to do to prior to actual exams in the summer. Results will also be sent home to parents.
Congratulations Y11, we’re very proud of you.
