Year 11 Mock Exams

• In preparation for their final exams, Year 11 students participate in mock exams that simulate the real exam experience. These mock exams are scheduled at key points during the year to:

• Identify Strengths and Areas for Improvement: Mock exams provide valuable insights into each student’s progress, allowing teachers to tailor their support to individual needs.

• Build Confidence: By experiencing exam conditions, students become familiar with time management, question formats, and strategies for staying calm under pressure.

• Track Progress: Results from mock exams help students understand how their hard work is paying off and what steps they need to take to improve further.​

​

Final Exams

• Year 11 students sit their final exams in a variety of subjects, including both core and optional qualifications. These exams are carefully planned to accommodate the needs of all students, including those with special educational needs or additional requirements.

​

Support for Students

• We are committed to helping all students succeed in their exams through:

• Revision Workshops: Targeted sessions to help students strengthen their knowledge and skills.

• Study Skills Support: Guidance on effective revision techniques, time management, and self-care during exam periods.

• Access Arrangements: Individualised support for students who qualify for adjustments such as extra time or the use of a scribe.

​

Parental Involvement

• We encourage parents and carers to be actively involved in their child’s preparation for exams. Regular updates and advice are provided to ensure families can support their child effectively during this critical time.

• Exams at Rise Education are not just about grades—they are a stepping stone to greater independence, resilience, and success. With our supportive framework, students leave us well-prepared for their next steps, equipped with the skills and confidence to achieve their goals.
