Here you will find all the relevant information for your child concerning assessments and exams. Every student will be assessed throughout their journey here at OSA, and we want to ensure that you have all the information required to support your child as best as possible. Take your time to read through the information contained here, discuss it with your child, and please contact the school if you have any questions.

Before any KS4 and KS5 mock or public exam, the Exams Officer will provide details of what is coming up and send out timetables through Arbor. In KS3, assessments will be conducted in class time and teaching staff will ensure notice is given on Google Classroom. Students will be provided with revision materials before any assessment or exam, and practice will be done in class time.

We’ve developed useful downloadable resources for students to help them get ready for exams, available below. In addition, we have created Revision by Subject guides, which are available for parents and carers to purchase to further support their child’s preparation.

Parents and carers of KS4 students – we’ve also created a dedicated guide to help you support your child through their exams. Click here to view the KS4 Parents/Carers Guide.

Yours sincerely

Nick Gray
Deputy Headteacher
