Pathway to Success
It was really pleasing to see so many of you at the Pathways to Success meeting in the first week. For those of you unable to be there, the materials used are attached below. The “How to revise booklet” will be of particular interest as students should be making a great effort in their revision already.

Supporting Y11s (including preparing for exams)
Year 11 can be a daunting year for students parents and carers. We aim to provide the support and opportunities to make Year 11 successful and a straightforward as possible.
As we approach the final set of mock exams and then the real exams we have a lot of support in place for Year 11.
This page will detail some of that support.
Support Available in School
In school, we follow a programme of events designed to help students to know what they should be doing at each stage of their preparation.
For more detailed information about the support in place, please see the monthly letters at the bottom of this page.
Revision
All students should have a revision timetable that they are following. We would advise having a copy at home where everyone can see it. I have made it clear to the students that having rest days and breaks is very important, along with working on a variety of subjects each week. I have put some videos on study techniques on our website that will help students to use their revision time effectively. Please encourage them to use these videos.

Summer Exams and Leaving Dates 2025-26
The summer exams will run from early May until 24 June 2026. The exam boards have contingency days that they use if they need to move an exam for any reason. Exam boards have stated that all students must be available up to and including Wednesday 24 June 2026. This is in case any exams have to be rescheduled for unforeseen reasons.
Some subjects such as BTECs, Drama and languages have exams before these dates for orals and performances. It is vital that all students attend their exams on time and fully prepared.
The Fakenham Sixth Form Induction Day 2025-26 is on Thursday 2 July 2026 and successful applicants to the Sixth Form will be informed of the details in due course.
