Our Year 12 mock exams will take place between Monday 19 April – Monday 26 April and will be a key assessment in judging students’ progression on their courses and likely UCAS predicted grades.
Like all mock exams, each subject area will have their own emphasis; some will be straight and unseen papers; others will be partial and perhaps include writing frames; and some will include revision support materials, pre-exam guidance or sampled questions. The purpose of these mock exams is not just to get a result, it is also the learning they bring for the real thing.
The schedule is as follows:
Monday 19 April:
AM – History – 2hrs 30mins

All students can get further guidance on their mock exams from their subject teachers. There are six students who have a clash and alternative arrangements will be put in place on an individual basis.
Carrie Cain, Assistant Headteacher, said; “These mock exams are very important for gauging progress and identifying learning gaps that we can work on moving forward. Equally, they play a major role in shaping predicted grades for universities and apprenticeships. We know our students understand that they are a great opportunity to gain some crucial momentum to take them through to Summer 2022 exams.”
