Exam Information Afternoon
On Friday 3rd May, between 4pm and 5pm, we will be hosting a Year 11 Exam Information Afternoon, providing parents and carers of Year 11 students the opportunity to gain valuable insights into: Exam Timetables, Finishing Timetable, Wellbeing and Support, as well as Final Revision Tips.
We understand that the exam period can be a stressful time for both students and parents. We are here to support you every step of the way. Attending the Year 11 Exam Information Afternoon is a great way to gain valuable information and address any concerns you may have.
For more information, please see the letter shared with parents and carers earlier this week. We look forward to seeing you there.
Exam Stress
We are aware that exams have the potential to exacerbate feelings of anxiety and stress amongst young people. That is why it's important that whilst pupils should be encouraged to work hard, this should not be at the expense of their wellbeing.
There is a range of advice and guidance for students and parents to help alleviate or lessen the anxiety they have about sitting exams. Over the coming weeks, as we approach the GCSE exams, we will be sharing a range of resources to support with managing this exam stress.
Please see the attached article, published by the NHS, which shares advice on how to spot and support your child deal with exam stress.
Attached is the KS5 dress code for your information, as well as Expectations which have been shared with year 12 and 13 students
Early Finish Fridays: any 6th form students who achieve 100% attendance for the week have the opportunity of leaving during lunchtimes on Friday. Ms Stubbs will be liaising with eligible students. Please refer to the letter shared this week for further information on this.
Years 12 and 13 have subject-specific study periods built into their timetables, roomed into the study area. This area is now being supervised as a quiet study area to enable students to continue with their set subject work. We hope students find this useful.
