KS3 Exams January 2020

Between 7th and 31st January, all Year 7 to 9 students will be taking part in a fortnight of exam preparation and some formal exam practice. The purpose of this fortnight is not to test students, but to help them become better at tests in the future. The aim is that by Year 10, they will not only know how to revise effectively, but will have become more comfortable and confident performing under exam conditions. Although different subjects will do things slightly differently, students will be provided with examples of effective revision techniques (for use in lessons and at home) and they will also be taught how to approach different types of exam question. They will then have a go at putting their new skills into action in a short assessment. To support your child in knowing when each assessment will take place, please see the timetables below:
