Dear Parent/Carer,

All students in Years 7 -9 will be taking part in exam week from Wednesday 4th January to Friday, 13^th January 2023. During this time, they will sit exams for all their subjects. The purpose of this is to experience exam conditions, practise timing, and test knowledge and exam skills.  After the exams, teachers will be able to feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses and ensure that appropriate interventions are put in place.

It is important that your son prepares well for these exams, and it is expected that he revises at home. We will be publishing Subject Revision Maps for students to optimise their revision.

Exams will take place in classrooms, but all will be conducted under exam conditions.

Exam conditions are:

• Silence in the exam room (classroom)
• No revision materials
• No mobile phones, smartwatches or any electrical devices
• No turning round or getting out of seat
• No talking to any other student

Equipment required:

• Clear pencil case
• Black pens (at least two)
• Pencil, ruler, rubber
• Calculator

 If you have any queries regarding the exams, please do not hesitate to contact your son’s head of year or myself.

Yours sincerely,

Ms C Miranda
