KS3 Internal Exams

KS3 will have an exam week during the Summer Term which will include core exams taken in the hall to start to get students used to formal exam conditions. They will also do exams in their other subjects during this week in the classroom. In the run-up to these exams revision strategies will be shared through assemblies, tutors and subject teachers to help students to prepare.

KS4 Internal Exams

KS4 students will sit exams in the hall under formal exam conditions in the Summer Term of Year 10 and in the Autumn and Spring Terms of Year 11. We will share the timetable for these exams with students and parents/carers well in advance of these exams. In the run-up to these exams revision strategies will be shared through assemblies, tutors and subject teachers to help students to prepare.

Throughout their time at The Highfield School key revision strategies are used with the students as outlined in this powerpoint.
