A&R Timetable

The Mid-year Assessment & Review for Year 7-10 students will take place from 

Wednesday 3rd January to Wednesday 17th January 2024

This page contains your child’s timetable with designated dates, period, and teacher’s initials. Please note the timetable is ordered by week and period and we ask that you sit with your child to review the timetable for their class and encourage them to note the subjects in date order. Knowing when the examinations are is an essential part of their preparation and will aid them in developing an efficient revision timetable.  

These assessments are a culmination of what students have learnt so far this academic year and will test the knowledge and skills that your child has been taught and, in some instances, assess prior developed knowledge and skills expected at this stage in their learning journey. Information on this will be relayed via subject specific Teams but can also be found on our website at Subject Information. The results of the assessments will be used, in part, to help support students and identify any learning gaps, so it is imperative they are all encouraged to revise and attempt all the questions in the assessments. The performance of all students, particularly SEND, will be rigorously reviewed to ensure that correct strategies, support, and access arrangements are in place. In all subjects, and particularly in English and Maths, students who are not progressing as expected will be offered additional support to help the catch up.

It is important that students understand the importance of any assessment or examination and the school will expect everyone to abide by a set of rules to ensure the assessments are completed in line with the guidance issued by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) for public exams. Establishing clear routines and expectations now will enable your child to be fully prepared for formal public examination conditions in the future. Could we please ask you to discuss with your child the following points:

Students must:

• ensure mobile phones are turned off and stored in their bag (as the school policy)
• be in silence at the start of the examination and remain silent throughout.
• not talk to or try to communicate with or disturb other candidates once the assessment/exam has started.
• not write on their hands or equipment.
• be properly equipped for examinations (i.e. black pens, pencils, ruler, rubber in a clear pencil case as well as a calculator and geometry set for the Maths calculator papers, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Geography assessments/exams).
• not have the tins for their geometry set or the lid for their calculator on their desks.
• listen carefully to the teacher or invigilators and follow their instructions at all times. 

In formal public exams, water to drink must be in a clear bottle (max. 500 ml) without the labels. Whilst this is not necessary for assessments in classrooms, you may wish your child to follow this expectation as part of their routine and preparation for future exams.

Any disruption to assessments or examinations may lead to students being removed from the room, their assessment or examination paper being cancelled, and an after-school sanction imposed.

Please see the school website: here for general revision tips and subject specific guidance for you to support your child with their revision in the coming weeks (this will be regularly updated). Students should also check Teams for additional subject-specific guidance and support.

We appreciate that assessments and examinations can be an anxious time for students, but this can be managed with support from school and home which will help them to increase their confidence and enable them to cope with challenges ahead. 

Please contact your child’s Year Manager if you have any concerns about your child’s well-being during this time.  If you have any queries about the examination timetable or revision support, please contact office@hernebayhigh.org
