Here, you will find information on upcoming external examinations for Year 11 and 13, as well as information on internal examinations taking place in the academy. You will also find an important overview timeline for coursework activities externally assessed.

Timetable of Internal and External Examinations

Ofqual has produced resources to support you in preparing your child for their exams and assessments. This includes the 2023 Student Guide and the recently published 2023 School and College Guide. 

Ofqual have also written a letter for parents outlining the arrangements in place for exams and assessments in 2023. This is published on their website and can be downloaded here Letter to Parents.

Coursework Overview Timeline

The coursework overview document provides an important insight into the focus of any given piece, its percentage contribution to a final GCSE grade and deadlines.

Parents and carers need to be aware that all deadlines are set by the exam boards and are therefore non-negotiable.

Crucially parents and carers need to be aware of points in the year where more than one piece of coursework task may be taking place and take steps at home to help their child manage their personal studies time effectively.

Information for Candidates

In this section you will find the JCQ exam rules and regulations to help ensure that your child knows how to conduct themselves in an examination. It is imperative that your child is familiar with these rules and understands the full ramifications should they be broken. 

Below is a link to the full list of JCQ guidance documents for students.
