All students from year 10 are expected to achieve at least a grade C at the end of year 10 mock exams (past paper questions from the relevant exam boards) in the subjects or related subjects that they take at GCSE level.
The end of year 10 mock exam results will also contribute towards their predicted grades which will be used when applying for sixth form. It is important that these exams are taken seriously.
Student’s who fail to achieve these standards will be either ask to leave or will be asked to repeat the year.
Failure: Students are only allowed to repeat the year once in year 10.
