External exams Summer 2023 – Years 9, 10 and 11

We have recently shared with students their summer exam timetables. These were handed out at tutor time on Thursday 16th March. If your child was not in school, their timetable and letter have been given to their tutor who will pass this on to your child when they return to school.

A copy of the revision timetable can be found here. This contains details of revision sessions taking place at lunch time, after school or during the Easter holiday.

Students watched a video in school to support their preparations for the external exams.
