Dear Parents/Carers
Year 10 Mock Examinations
Y10Mock Examinations will commence in the week beginning on Tuesday3rd May 2016. Your child is expected to attend school as normal during this time and attend normal lessons when not in examinations. This follows the May bank holiday weekend and marks the mid-point of their GCSE studies. Therefore these mock exams are a fantastic indicator of the progress they have made towards their subject qualifications.
You will find a general timetable on the reverse of this letter, this outlines all the examinations taking place in the mock examination fortnight. Please note that not all students will sit all exams, they will only sit exams in their chosen subjects.The individual timetables, which list all of their exams will be distributed to your child at a later date and will show your child’sseat number.
It is essential that students prepare fully for these examinations over the Easter holidays and beyond to ensure that their performance in the examinations is a good representation of their current attainment. This will enable their teachers and subject teams to target individuals for appropriate intervention. If your child requires any assistance around strategies for revision they should seek support from their subject teachers who will be able to advise accordingly.
All these examinations will take place in the Sports Hall unless otherwise stated on the timetable.
Please check the start times of the exams carefully and make sure your child arrives on time.
They are responsible for taking the correct equipment to the examinations: 2 x BLACK pens, 2 x HB pencils, an eraser, ruler, pencil sharpener and calculator. Calculator instructions and cases are not allowed and anything stored on the calculator should be cleared. Equipment should be in a transparent pencil case.
Students must not be in possession of a mobile phone or any other electronic device during an examination. Please advise your child to leave these, switched off, with their belongings. Bags and coats are not allowed in the exam hall. It is your child’s responsibility to leave them in a safe place, preferably a locker.Water may be brought into the exam room in a clear bottle with the label removed.
We would appreciate it if you could support your child to prepare by ensuring they revise and get plenty of sleep prior to the mock examinations commencing.
Good luck to all students sitting these mock examinations.
Yours faithfully
