Year 11 2023/24
Welcome to our dedicated Year 11 page where we will post all updates as we move through the year.
This letter includes information about the collection of results in August 2024.
Summer 2024 - Exams
Year 11 will sit exams during W/B 6th May. A full timetable can be found here.
Students have now also received their individual exam timetable, which shows the room each exam is in, and, if in the main hall, the student's seat number for each exam.
Individual exam timetables may also now be accessed by students and parents via Edulink.
If students or their parents/carers have any queries regarding their exam timetable, please contact Mrs Charles, the Exams Officer, as soon as possible.
GCSE practical assessments and speaking tests are also taking place over the coming weeks - assessment dates can be found here.
Revision resources can be found here.
A revision timetable to print off or edit can be found here.
Please note that students MUST remain available and able to come into school up to and including Wed 26 June (JCQ contingency day), should any exams be re-scheduled by the awarding body.
Please see the short exam guidance/information video for students below:
Message for parents/carers - Year 11s - Study Leave
As our Year 11’s are about to commence their study leave after the half-term break, we would like remind you of examination start times.
All AM exams begin at 9am. We would suggest students are on site by 8.45, but they do not have to go to their form room. Some students may access our Breakfast Sessions which will continue to run after half-term. These begin at 8am.
All PM exams begin at 1pm. We would suggest students are on site by 12.45. If students wish to dine with us before an exam, they are welcome to do so. Please ensure they have appropriate funds on ParentPay if so.
If students have an AM and PM exam on the same day, they are welcome to stay in school during the gap between the exams. They should sign in, in H Block so we know they are present and let Mr Cannon or Mrs Truslove know they are on site, and we will find a suitable place for them to work!
Please also note that students are expected to wear their school uniform for all exams.
