Mock Examinations

To help students to prepare for their final GCSE examinations, we conduct our KS4 mock examinations in exactly the same way as the final GCSE exams. This means that students know exactly what to expect and there are no surprise rules or expectations.

We do the following things to help students to prepare, and to reduce stress and uncertainty as much as possible:

  • We brief students on the exam rules and regulations at least once per academic year.
  • We provide students with their own copy of the Student Examination Handbook that contains all rules and regulations and Form Teachers spend time going through it.
  • We employ a well-trained team of expert invigilators who support students in following the regulations.
