Year 11- Trial Exams

November 30, 2023/in General News/by Steve Telford

Well done to the Year 11 pupils who have on the whole approached their Trial Exams in a diligent and mature fashion, I wish you all the best with the final few Trial Exams next week!

Please can pupils be reminded to be fully equipped for their exams (pen x2, pencil x2, ruler, rubber, protractor, calculator & compass) and also be reminded that they MUST leave any mobile phones in their bags in the small canteen. Pupils in the past have failed their GCSE exams because they have taken phones in to the examination hall, even with the phone being turned off and not in use by the pupil.

Pupils will receive the results of all of their exams after the Christmas break in a Trial Exam results afternoon on 16/01/24.

Have a good weekend,

Mr Still
Head of Year 11
