In addition to the work that we have done, and continue to do, to prepare pupils for their final exams, we will be running pre-exam briefings in most subjects. These are short, sharp 15-minute sessions before the beginning of exams to outline key points ahead of each one, such as, reminders of which sections to answer, how long to spend on each part of the exam and other key information. They are not formal revision sessions and won’t be used to add additional stress ahead of the exam – quite the opposite – the briefings will offer last-minute guidance and reassurance to pupils.

The 2025 Pre-Exam briefing Schedule can be found here:

Year 10 trial examinations will commence week beginning 23rd June 2025 and will run for a period of two weeks.
