EXAMS
Internal Exams
Years 7/8/9
Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 have exams in June. The exams are held in classrooms and timetables will be published nearer the time.
Years 10/11/12/13
Year 10 exams are held in April, Year 11 and Year 13 exams are held in January, and Year 12 exams are held in June.
Before their exams, the students will attend an assembly where we explain how the exams are run, and each student will receive an individual timetable showing their exam rooms and seat numbers. We aim to make these exams as similar to the external exams as possible, so that students are used to sitting exams in a larger space and following the JCQ regulations (see JCQ Information for candidates below). Students should also be familiar with the Student Information Booklet below.

External exams are held in May/June and students are entered for these exams in February. A Statement of Entry will be given to each student to check, and an individual timetable showing their exam rooms and seat numbers will be emailed to them (and parents/carers) around Easter.
Students must ensure that they read all the documents in the ‘JCQ Information for Candidates’ section below.
The Pate’s Student Information booklet contains useful information about the exam process, including items to bring to exams, what to do if you are late/ill, exam clashes and results.
