Mock Exam Week – March 2026: Everything You Need to Know

From Monday, 2nd March to Thursday, 5th March 2026, our Year 11 students will be sitting their core mock GCSE exams. These assessments are a vital “dress rehearsal” for the summer. To ensure we provide the best possible environment and necessary access arrangements for our exam candidates (as many children need separate rooms), we will be adjusting the school timetable for all other year groups during this period.

Year 11 Exam Schedule

Year 11 students should arrive before the start times listed below:

  • Monday 2nd March: Maths Paper 1 (Non-Calculator) 9:00am
  • Tuesday 3rd March: English 9:00am
  • Wednesday 4th March: Biology 1pm start
  • Thursday 5th March: Maths Paper 2 (Calculator) 9:00am

Changes for Other Year Groups (Years 7–10)

To facilitate the required exam support, the school day will look a little different for students not sitting exams:

  • Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday: School will start at 11:50am.
  • Wednesday, 4th March: School will start at the normal time but will finish early at 12:20pm to allow for the afternoon Biology exam.

Good luck to all of Year 11!
