Dear Parent / Carer

END OF YEAR EXAMINATIONS

I am writing to highlight the upcoming end of year examinations and to explain the logistics for each year group. Please read the following letter carefully and keep it somewhere safe for reference in the coming weeks. Dates of exams:

• Year 7 & 8 exams take place on Thursday 3rd & Friday 4th July • Year 9 exams take place Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th July • Year 10 core exams take place Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th July

Year 10 options exams take place Friday 4th July (Art), Monday 7th July (Geography) and Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th July (all other subjects)

• The timetables overleaf show subjects, exact timings & dismissal for each day. Equipment for exams:

• On each exam day, students are expected to arrive at school at the usual time (8.25am or before) ready for line up. They should place their bag in their locker before school in the morning, keeping only their pencil case and planner.

• Students will need a fully equipped clear pencil case with pens, pencils, ruler, calculator & maths set for their exams.

• They should also have an Ark Academy water bottle or small clear 250-300ml water bottle. Flavoured water, frozen bottles of water and one litre large bottles are not permitted.

Breakfast, break and lunch:

• Please ensure your child has a substantial breakfast on their end of year examination days. Our canteen will run a breakfast offering as usual from 8.00am for those who wish to have it.

• At a mid-exam break the normal break time food will be available.

Page 2: END OF YEAR EXAMINATIONSarkwembley.bitmachine.co.uk/sites/default/files/End-of... ·  · 2015-01-07END OF YEAR EXAMINATIONS . ... • Year 9 exams take place Monday 7 th and

• At lunchtime there will be a more limited option to ensure the hall is cleared for exams after lunch. This will include sandwiches and baguettes, pasta, jacket potatoes, soup and a dessert offering.

Enrichment:

• Enrichment will be cancelled for all year groups from Wednesday 2nd July through to the end of the year – to support students’ independent revision time at home.

• Dismissal times from school vary according to the examination finish times. They are noted on the timetables overleaf. If your child is not in end of year examinations, they will finish at the normal time, 3:55pm Monday – Thursday & 2:50pm Friday.

Your child will have their own copy of the timetable given to them in form time and an assembly explaining the end of year exam process. Musicians and students in the choir attending the ARK Gala will have an adjusted timetable which I will explain to them and it will be stuck in their planner.

The most important thing now is for all students to plan a clear revision timetable. If they are not sure what or how to revise you can discuss the following questions with them:

• Have they completed all revision booklets? How often are they working on them? (They have a booklet for EN, MA & SC)

• Have they gone back over work from their exercise book?

• Have they made revision cards, mindmaps, leaflets, guides or posters for each subject?

• Have they logged onto Fronter, downloaded extra work and revised using it?

This is just a ‘starter for 10’ and of course there are many other methods of revision that work well; the main thing is that your child spends time revising for all subject exams each evening and at the weekend from now on.

Please fill out the slip below and ask your child to return it to their form tutor to acknowledge your receipt of this letter. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

A Ryan Assistant Principal: Assessment, Tracking & Data
