Public exams can be a stressful time for students and parents/carers and it is important that all those involved are as well informed as possible. The school will make every effort to ensure that our students receive the best possible preparation for their exams, that the administrative arrangements run smoothly, and that exams are conducted in a way that will cause as little stress as possible and help our students achieve their best.
We have included some useful information here together with the school's External Exam Booklet and official Exam Board notices. Please don't hesitate to contact us during school hours if you have any queries.

EXAM results will be the primary indicator of the final grade. But, where teachers feel and have supporting evidence that the results are less good than the pupil merits [because they demonstrated a much higher standard during the academic year] the school may UPGRADE the results. The reverse will not apply i.e. the school will not downgrade Exam results. This means that students have every opportunity to prove that they deserve the highest grades. |
