Year 11 and 13 Mock Examinations Update

8th October 2024

Dear Parent/Carer,

RE: Year 11 and 13 Mock Examinations Update

I am pleased to be able to share with you the final details of the mock exams that your child will complete during the first mock exam period. These mock exams are an important part of the work that your child is completing to prepare for their GCSE, GCE and BTEC summer examinations. The mock examinations will be taking place the week beginning 4th November and will finish on the 15th November.

Please note that some examinations are quite long and as a result, may mean pupils finishing their exam after the normal school day. Please refer to your childs personalised timetable, which they will get before half-term, for more information about this.

All students will take the mocks under controlled exam conditions within the JCQ regulations.

  • Phones will not be allowed into the examination venue.
  • Bags and jackets will be taken off and left in the library.
  • Wrist watches need to be handed in.
  • Smart Glasses are also not permitted

If you have any questions or queries regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Mr G Uppal

Assistant Principal- KS4 & Assessment | George Salter Academy
