These examinations should not be taken lightly, as this is an excellent opportunity for students to see how
far they have progressed in preparation for their final examinations in Summer 2024. These results will be
used to inform predicted grades on applications for the Sixth Form and any references students need to
obtain.
Please be aware that some practical exams sat during this period will count towards the overall grades of
some subjects.
Students will be required to bring the correct equipment for each examination. All exams must be written in
black pen and for most subjects, a calculator is required.
If you have received a letter regarding access arrangements, these will be put in place accordingly in line
with the timetable above.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact myself, Mrs Pyne, Ms Sutton, Ms Begum or Mrs Beckwith
Yours sincerely,
Mr C Maunder
Vice Principal
