YEAR 13 LEARNING PROGRAMME Assessment Week 3 - Monday 19th March to Friday 23rd March 2018 (inclusive) From Monday 19th March until Friday 23rd March (inclusive) all students in Year 13 will

be undertaking assessments in the subjects they are currently studying. For both

A-level and BTEC subjects these assessments will be based on past paper questions,

and indeed complete papers, and will be taken under exam conditions to best

prepare your son/daughter for final examinations in May/June 2018.

Please find attached the exam timetable so your son/daughter is aware of when their

examinations take place. All morning exams will start as soon as possible at 9:00am. It

is vital that your son/daughter is in school and registered at 8:50am with their tutor to

allow them to get to the Arts Theatre for a 9:00am start.

Afternoon examinations commence at 1:10pm. Your son/daughter should report to

the Arts Theatre immediately from lunch.

Please could you encourage and support your son/daughter to prepare thoroughly

for these exams as they will give them a good indication of the progress they have

made to date and what they need to do to improve in order that they can secure

fantastic exam results in the summer of 2018. I would refer you to the Sixth Form

newsletter which has some excellent guidance around revision and preparing

effectively for exams.
