Exam Arrangements

Our exam support offer is comprehensive and includes additional support outside of lessons such as our Period 6 programme, holiday programmes and form time programmes, which are subject based, and offer small group interventions.

Prior to each exam we also deliver "Laser Sharp Tips" which provide the final key guidance and reminders for students before they go into their exams.

In addition, we also offer parents and carers an Exam Information Evening where we give guidance on helping your child revise and provide an exam information booklet along with access to the dedicated Microsoft Teams area where revision resources and vital exam information is available to all students.

You will also find further information under ‘Useful Links’ from Ofqual including: exam documents, a student guide to exams and how to cope with exams.
