Progress assessments and mock exams

All students in key stage 4 and Sixth Form will complete progress assessments and mock examinations during the academic year. We place a high value on these assessments, and the results will contribute towards the predicted grades provided by subject teachers in school reports and applications for further and higher education. Therefore, the dates are publicised as soon as possible, so parents and carers can support their son/daughter with their revision schedule and so they can be aware on what date to expect a school report.

In addition to these progress reports, Attitude to Learning reports will also be issued at the start of each half term.

After the exams

Collecting results

GCSE and A-level exam results will be available for students to collect in person from school on the following dates:

If you are unable to collect your results on the official results day:

• You can ask someone else to collect your results for you, but you must give written consent to the Exams Office in advance, and they must bring ID on the day.
• The consent form is available from the Exams Office.
• If no-one is collecting your results, they will be posted out to the address we have on file. It is your responsibility to make sure this is correct. If you require your results posting to a different address, or posting out on results day, you must bring an A4 stamped addressed envelope in advance.
• Under no circumstances will results be given out over the phone or via e-mail.

Post-results services

Post-results services (such as reviews of results or access to scripts) will be available from 11:00am on each results day.
