Year 11 and Year 13 students will have now received their exam timetables for the summer exams by email. Students are not expected to attend school after their last exam although all Year 11 and Year 13 students are expected to be available until the exam contingency day on Wednesday 26 June 2024 in case they are required to attend school at short notice for any exam related issues.
We understand that exams can be a stressful time for both students and parents. We are committed to providing a supportive environment and ensuring all students have the resources they need to succeed.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s year group leader or the exams office.
Yours faithfully
