Dear Parent/Guardian,
Please be advised that the Year 11 mock examinations period will commence
on Monday, 10th December, 2018. The mock exams period is exactly what it
states; it is a mock opportunity to experience the full examination process. It is
a dress rehearsal for the full performance in the summer. Students will receive
a personalised examination timetable after half-term and any student entitled
to special concessions will be granted these in order to support them fully.
We aim to get as close as practically possible to the real event, going so far
as to hold a mock results day in January whereby students will gather in the
hall and collect their envelope of results experiencing the anticipation that they
will feel on the final results day.
The mock exams are not intended to be threatening or a judgement of ability.
Students should see them as a useful way of improving their knowledge and
memory as well as directing their future efforts. The mocks are also a
powerful tool for teachers and give vital information in relation as to whether
students are sitting the appropriate tier and what support/intervention they
might require.
We believe that the mock exams are highly beneficial for students and ask for
your support to work in partnership with us in encouraging your son/daughter
to take the mock examinations seriously and to ensure they are well prepared
for their mock exams.
