The mock exams are designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience real exam conditions in a practice environment. They help to ease any nerves or worries students may have as well as giving students the motivation they need to work hard towards their real exams.
Year 9 Hannah said: “I feel much better about sitting my GCSE exams after sitting the year 9 mocks exams and these GCSE mocks. I revised a lot and as a result I got an A in History which I worked really hard for.”
Fellow year 9 Lauren, was pleased to achieve highly in her two favourite subjects, Dance and History. She said: “I was nervous before taking the exams but now I know what to expect they don’t seem half as scary.”
Year 10 student, Abigail, said: “I’m shocked but pleased to have gained an A* in Biology and English. I feel great finishing the year on such a high.”
Luke, also in Year 10, agrees with Abigail. He said: “It is wonderful to leave for the summer knowing I’ve done well in my mock exams. I felt like I did everything I could to prepare and now I have these results which I’m proud of.”
Assistant Headteacher, Ms Hilton-Peet, said: “It is wonderful to have another set of fantastic results to celebrate, once again our students continue to work hard and show commitment to their studies. I look forward to working with our pupils next year to build on the successes of this year.”
