Welcome to the Year 11 Area

The timetable for the exams and wraparound interventions is below.  

Dates and times 

The mock exam period will run from February 27th to March 17th. With the exception of some students with extra time, these exams will fall within the timings of the school day. It is important that students are in school, on time, for the entirety of this exam period. 

Access Arrangements 

For any students with access arrangements (e.g. Extra Time, A Scribe/Reader, Small Group, Breaks), these will be honoured and given to the student in these mock exams. If you have any questions, please contact Ms Ismail.  

Interventions 

Students will be offered wraparound interventions to support them in the run up to their Mock Exams. These will take the form of Breakfast Boosters (from 7:45am) and Excellence Hours (until 4pm) on the day of/day before their exams. These are optional but encouraged as they will be focused on last minute prep and support. 

Revision 

Students have looked at revision strategies and timetables in form time and assemblies to support them with their revision. We have had external speakers in who lead a half-day session on study skills with all students. Teachers have given resources for revision and/or directed students to appropriate websites to support their revision. 

Revision Timetable

To maximise your revision time, it is important to plan out what you are going to revise and when. In general, revising for 45 minutes at a time and varying short and long breaks is best. You can download the template below and fill in your lessons, and what you are going to revise and when.
