Fourth Year Summer Exams

The fourth year summer exams take place from Thursday 28 April to Friday 6 May. The boys should be spending some time over the Easter break revising for these. The examination timetable can be found on the website.

Upper Sixth Mocks

Results of the mocks have now been sent by email and published to the parent portal. Please note that the mock grades listed apply only to the specific paper(s) set for this exam session and do not represent an overall prediction for the A Level. There will be other elements to be factored in (such as other exam papers, coursework, AS scores, AS resits) before a realistic A Level predictive conclusion can be reached. The end of term report in two weeks will offer teachers an opportunity to discuss the mock result within more of a context. As usual, if you have problems accessing the parent portal, please contact [email protected]
