  • Year 11 Mock Exams

    Published 02/02/24

    Dear Parent/Carer, 

    This week has been another successful week for year 11, demonstrating commitment to learning, resilience and respect. Year 11 will start their mock exams on Monday 5th February, which will run for four weeks. Below is the timetable for the week commencing 05.02.24.


    The Academy will close for half-term on Friday 9th February for a week. Please see below the revision timetable for the holidays: 

    Please find below some tips to support your students with their revision and home learning: 

    English: Use the exam board websites for previous papers/mark schemes as well as student friendly support (English Language: www.eduqas.co.uk; English Literature: www.aqa.org.uk). Make sure you know your narrative word for word. Use the coloured quote cards to practise Look/Cover/Write/Check then practise quote explosions. 

    Maths: Please use your Sparx online account for revision. 

    Science: Make question and answer flash cards using the revision guides or videos. Practise repeating them until they are learnt. Use the AQA website to practise past papers (https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse). Use videos from Free Science Lessons to make notes on the required practical methods.


    Why good attendance matters

    Regular school attendance is an important part of giving children the best possible start in life. The aim should be to attend 100% of the time. Students who miss school frequently can fall behind with their work and do less well in examples. Good attendance also shows potential employers that a young person is reliable. It is also important to arrive at school on time. If a child arrives late to school every day, their learning begins to suffer.

    If students attend all their mock exams they will be going to the Vue cinema in the Light, Leeds on Friday 8th March. Further communications will follow. 

    If you have any questions, or I can do anything further to support please email me at emma.pearson@coopacademies.co.uk 

    Best wishes.

    Miss Pearson
