Link to Year 11 - Success Plans for Mock Exams - Woodrush High School - 4 Weeks to Success - Mock Exam Preparation

Year 11 and 13 have their mock examinations starting Monday 2nd February to Thursday 12th February. These are a pivotal point in the academic year for these students. Students should be well into their revision for these and support for revision can be found on the school website link above and on students' Microsoft Teams pages for their classes.

We also encourage all year 11 students to take opportunity of the after school support sessions. Open evenings for English and Maths are Monday and Tuesday nights respectively and other sessions where individuals are invited are on their timetables. Please support your child in ensuring they attend.

We wish all students the best of luck in these assessments.

Year 11 Timetable

Year 13 Timetable Public Examinations 2026

Summer 2026 written examinations for GCSE and GCE (A Level and AS Level) will take place between 7th May 2026 and 23rd June 2026. All students must be available for the entire examination period.

Contingency Examination Day

There is one national contingency day included in the summer 2026 examination timetable:

Wednesday 24th June 2026

This day is reserved in case sustained national or local disruption affects the regular examination timetable. If an exam needs to be rescheduled by an awarding body, students may be required to sit it on this date.

Students must remain available up to and including 24th June 2026. Please consider this date when booking summer holidays or making other arrangements. If a student is unavailable for a rearranged examination on the contingency day, they could miss the opportunity to complete that assessment, which may affect their final grade.

Other Qualifications

BTEC, Cambridge Nationals, Entry Level Certificates and other vocational qualifications may have examinations and assessments scheduled outside the main written examination window.
Many subjects also include non-exam assessments (NEAs) or practical exams — such as Drama, Dance, language speaking tests, Photography and Food Preparation and Nutrition — which take place throughout the academic year.
Controlled assessments and in-lesson assessments are also completed during the school year.

Students will be advised by their subject teachers of the exact dates and arrangements for any assessments outside the main summer examination season.
