Students should not feel worried or anxious about these mock exams but instead try their best in all their subjects. It is really important that your child spends time at home revising for these examinations.

Revision resources have been given out for all subjects. There is also a raft of materials on the Google Classroom for students to access and different apps students can use, including Sparx, Educake and Seneca. In addition, students can always ask their class teacher for anything extra they need prior to their exams. These mock examinations are important as they will enable teachers to identify gaps in knowledge and plan for future progression.

 

There will be a ‘revision fair’ on Thursday 16 January, 2:45pm to 3.45pm, where students can collect the above resources and seek advice from subject specialists. 

Parents and carers are also welcome to attend from 3.00pm to 3.45pm.

XL Revision Sessions

XL Revision sessions will be running during the following times over the Mock Weeks. These sessions are optional.
