We are heading ever closer to our Year 13 Mock Exams which are a crucial part of our preparation work for those students taking A-Level and Level 3 qualifications in Summer 2023.

This cohort will be taking their first formal exams at this time – due to the COVID break – so this is a fantastic opportunity to show off all that is going well and a chance to identify the gaps that we as teachers can then help close before we hit the real thing in the Summer.

Helen Barratt, Assistant Headteacher, said: “We are emphasising to our Year 13s that these exams are critical in preparing them for the final exams and, just like an athlete preparing for an Olympic Final, all of the work beforehand needs to be top notch so that things run perfectly on the big day.”
