Cambridge Examinations

We are about half way through our Cambridge examinations, which continue to run smoothly. Thank you to all involved for ensuring that our exam students arrive at school and are collected on time.

Internal examinations

End-of-year examinations for our younger students are due to take place between 31st May and 6th June. Students have access to a study planner, as indicated on our Facebook page and in previous editions of this weekly newsletter. We are currently putting final touches to the internal exam schedule and will release this as soon as it is ready.

Year 9 IGCSE Information Evening

For current Year 9, the IGCSE information evening will be held in Brayton Hall on Wednesday 24th May. You and your child will be presented with information that may help them to choose which subjects to study in Year 10 from September, if they have not already made up their mind. Some find the Briggs-Meyer personality test, or an adapted version, helpful in the decision-making process. Such tests are available online for free, or at a cost. The results provided may be interesting and said to be accurate, but should not be considered as infallible, cast-iron pointers to what your child must study at IGCSE. Year 9 students will explore such testing, as well as university entry requirements, in PSHE and ICT classes this week.
