Year 10 revision and study skills
Year 10 will commence their next round of Pre Public Examinations (mocks) on Monday 20th March.
These will take place under exam conditions in the hall. These examinations will be carried out in a formal style, to ensure that students are more familiar with the procedures for external examinations. The PPE process is important to establish where students are currently at in their learning and ensure that correct intervention is implemented once the series is completed.
Timetables will be shared with students prior to half term and can be found as a download below. English, Maths, Science, and RE will be examined in the first week. All other subject will be assessed in the second week.
It is imperative that students are fully prepared for any upcoming examinations. Students should ensure that they are fully equipped. Equipment needed includes black pens, pencils, a ruler, a highlighter and rubber as well as a calculator, dependent on the examination.
Students have been spoken to in form time regarding the significance of the PPE process. It is key that students complete their PPEs to the best of their ability. Time will be dedicated over the coming weeks to support students in the run up to these examinations.
Information will also be added to Show My Homework. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any issues in accessing either site. It is imperative that students revise for these examinations. Please ensure students use these to help guide and focus their revision.
We thank you in anticipation of you support with this period of examination preparation. If there are any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
