GCSE and A-Level Examination timetable

The timetable for all GCSE and A-Level examinations taking place this exam season can be found here:

Following completion of the English Language exam on Thursday 21st May 2026, Year 11 students will only be required to attend school when they have an exam. If they wish to attend a lesson for a subject where the final exam has not yet taken place, timetabled lessons will continue to run throughout the exam period. Lessons in non-examined subjects, including Core PE and Core RE will no longer continue.

Please see more information regarding Year 11 study leave and exam information below:

Year 10 Trial Exams

From Tuesday 16th June to Friday 26th June, our Year 10 students will begin their end-of-year examinations. As part of this, students will sit papers in almost all of their subjects in the main exam hall.

The main focus of the examinations is to provide students and staff with an indication of where good progress is being made and where further work is needed; it is also an opportunity for students to get used to sitting examinations in a formal setting. These examinations present an excellent opportunity for everyone to review what needs to be done ahead of the start of Year 11.
