28th November 2025Year 9
Year 9 - End of KS3 Exams - these will take place in March 2026. Year 9 students will only sit Maths, English and Science subjects in the main exam rooms. Other subject exams / assessments will take place in class.
The exams will be held in the Main Hall or smaller rooms depending on any access arrangements students may have. Lists of students in each exam room will be displayed on the windows of the KS4 area the week before.
All morning examinations start at 8.30am. Students should arrive at their exam location at least 15 minutes before the start when staff will be around to support and guide them.
The exams will be run under formal exam conditions, similarly to GCSE exams. This is to start to prepare the students for exams when they are in Years 10 & 11. Students must bring in the correct equipment for each subject in a clear pencil case or plastic bag. Black ballpoint pens must be used in all formal exams, students should have at least two black pens with them. Water bottles are allowed but must not have labels or writing on them and should be clear. No food is allowed in exam rooms.
Students must not have a mobile phone or a wristwatch (digital or analogue), whether switched on or off, or any headphones / earpods in their possession in an exam room. Any phones or electronic devices found on a student in an exam room will result in that paper being cancelled.
