Half-Term School 

Over the course of the February half-term, we have arranged some revision opportunities for students in-school and online. We hope these sessions give students time and space to work on both coursework elements for their GCSEs but also to prepare them for the mock examinations which take place immediate after the week’s break.

For those attending in-school sessions, letters have already been sent to parents from subject leads; for those attending the online sessions, there is an online sign-up sheet here. Online sessions will take place on the Year 11 Google Classroom area and we would encourage students to arrive 5 minutes early and to bring something to take notes with.

If there are queries not answered by any of the above, do feel free to contact Mr Compton directly (ecompton@bottishamvc.org)

In the past, these sessions have been invaluable and highly received by students; we wish to replicate it at Easter as well.

Year 11 Timeline  

At this time of year, we finalise the year 11 timeline so that students and their families can best prepare. The formal examination season runs from 6 May to 24 June: it is a busy few weeks, with a half-term break taking place W/B 27 May.  As a result, we have orchestrated a timeline which we hope will benefit students at an important time in their education.
