Year 11 Pre-Public Examinations
Nov/Dec 2024
Dear Parent/Carer
Your child has been given a copy of the examination timetable for internal exams taking place during November/December, along with a copy of expectations for the exams. I would be grateful if you could spend a short while going through these with your child.
These exams are set to help assess how much progress your child has made in this academic year and closely resemble the actual GCSEs. It is vital that your child secures the best PPE results possible. The class teacher will advise on topic lists and revision material in advance of the exam but if you child is unsure how best to prepare, please ask them to speak directly to their teacher.
We are making every effort to continually raise the standards attained and raising the profile of exams in the school is further evidence of this. To this end, it may be necessary to remove pupils from exam rooms where they are causing distraction and relocate them elsewhere. If this is not successful, then it may be necessary to call parents and ask them to collect their child immediately.
I am confident that pupils will respect the rights of other pupils and that the drastic measures outlined above will not be necessary. It is vital that we continue to make progress both individually and as a school and hopefully you will be able to reinforce this with your child.
Should you wish to discuss anything that is contained in this letter, or you would like to speak to me regarding any aspect of the examinations, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards
Miss N Takacs
Examinations Manager
