Year 11
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.
Support Available in School
In school, we will be following 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 Opportunities After School
As these increase we will update this list.
Revision Timetables
In form time we are helping students to plan their revision at home, using a revision timetable. Please ask you child about their revision timetable that should have breaks and exercise as well as revision.

Super Saturdays
Super Saturdays run from 9am to 12pm on a Saturday morning, in the Sixth Form building. The first one will be on Saturday 9th November and they will run until the exams, but not during holidays.
Students can choose to attend, but they should bring past papers to complete, have homework or coursework to work on during this time. The school computers will be available. There will be staff on hand to help and ensure they are working, but we will not be delivering lessons until March. Students do not have to wear uniform and we will provide drinks and refreshments. To take part in Super Saturdays please sign your child up by completing the form here: https://forms.office.com/e/5EcsAEgiE0
If you tell us that your child is due to attend on a particular day and they don't arrive, we will call you on the phone number you leave on the form to let you know they have not arrived. Please email us to let us know if they are not able to come and they have signed up.
Mock Exams Start 18th November 2024
It is vital that your child revises well for the mock exams. Revising for mock exams is a crucial part of preparing for GCSEs and BTECs as it helps students become familiar with the exam format, identify areas for improvement, build confidence, and develop essential exam skills. It's a valuable tool for both students and teachers in the preparation process. By not revising for these exams, students will be at a disadvantage when it comes to the real exams in the summer.
