Year 11 Exam Preparation

Our February half-term intervention sessions are planned with all exam subjects covered. All students have received an individual copy of their half-term sessions. Morning sessions start at 9am and afternoon sessions start at 12pm.

After half-term, our daily intervention sessions continue and Mock exams begin in week two - see the exam timetable.

We will also be running Easter intervention sessions, students and parents will be notified about these nearer the time.

Parents and carers, as we make the final push towards the summer exams, please encourage and support the attendance of your child to all extra sessions and let the school know if they cannot attend.
