As you may be aware, the mock examinations will take place between Monday 5th December and the end of term. These are very important examinations as they give us quite an accurate assessment of how well your child is progressing in his/her studies and help us to decide the level of entry for the GCSE examinations taken in the Summer Term.
It is essential that these examinations are taken seriously as we run them strictly in line with the Examination Boards’ Regulations. This means that students:
- must enter the examination room in silence and be silent throughout the examination;
- must bring the right equipment for the examination such as pen, pencil, ruler, rubber, calculator;
- must not bring mobile phones to college during the examination period. Mobile phones must not be taken into the examination room and any student found in possession of one, or one that rings in the examination room, will fail that examination. There can be no exceptions to this rule.
We are very strict about these procedures and more detailed information is provided for you with this letter.
Attendance at the College during Mock Examinations
- All students must attend the college as normal during the mock examination period.
- When students are not taking mock examinations they must attend lessons as usual.
- For morning examinations, students must arrive at the college at the normal time (8.25am) and go to the exam room as per their individual examination timetable.
- All College buses will operate at the usual times throughout this period.
Examination Information for students
For your information, I am including an outline of the mock examination timetable so that you know when these are taking place. Prior to this, students will be issued with a detailed timetable informing them of the exact times of each examination, the examination room and their individual seat number. This information will also be available in the foyer during the examination period. This is the system we will use during the actual GCSE Examinations.
Mock Results Day
This year we intend to collate all the mock examination results and hold a mock results day which will be on Monday 16th January 2017. Your child will receive all their results in one go during registration. By doing this we hope to replicate the feelings of opening results that students will have in August where they can see hard work and revision have paid off.
