Year 11 Times of Day During the Exams

Firstly, we would like to say how impressed and proud we are of how our Year 11s are managing themselves through their exam schedules. They have been simply magnificent! We encourage parents and carers, at this point, to continue to ensure their child is getting good rest and sleep as well as planning their revision time effectively, and are eating well to maintain their focus, concentration and energy.

As we approach the final half of the GCSE examination season, we are constantly reviewing the remaining time our Year 11s have in school with more of their courses finishing, and how the students are managing their time most effectively. With this in mind we would like to inform parents, carers and students of some changes to the times when they can finish their school day during the remaining weeks of the exams (highlighted in red text).
