Year 10 End of Year Exams

We would like to remind you that Year 10 exams will be taking place in the coming weeks. This is an important period for students to demonstrate their progress, and we encourage them to begin preparing in good time.

You can support your child at home in a number of ways. Encouraging regular, focused revision sessions can make a big difference, as can helping them to create a simple revision timetable to manage their time effectively. Providing a quiet space to study, checking that they have all the necessary equipment (such as pens, pencils, calculators, and revision materials), and encouraging good routines—such as getting enough sleep and eating well—will also help them feel confident and prepared.

Talking to your chid about their revision, testing them on key topics, or simply showing interest in their work can be very motivating. If they are unsure about anything, please encourage them to seek support from their teachers.

Thank you for your continued support
