YEAR 11 CENTRE ASSESSED

EXAMINATIONS
Preparation Guide for Exams – Thursday 6th – Friday 21st
January 2022

Winchmore School
KS4 2020-2022
Dear Parents / Carers of Students in Year 11

In order for our students to feel as supported as possible, we are providing you with this guide to helping your child
prepare for their Centre Assessed Examinations in January. On the following pages you will find the overall timetable,
JCQ Exam regulations and a guide for each subject so the students know what they should be focusing on. At the back
of this booklet there is a page of useful revision links and 2 examples of revision timetables – one for the
holidays/weekends, and one that can be used in the evenings. The idea of these is to help students plan their revision –
it should not be completely filled with revision activities and must include breaks/leisure time.

We have also given them some handy revision materials (pens/highlighters/flash cards) and a ‘How to Revise for GCSE’
guide in case they struggle to get going.

Below we have tried to answer any ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ to help ease anxiety and allow the students to
perform at their best.
Will we be on study leave, and what can we wear?
There will be no study leave during these exams. However, you will be in your own clothes (as you will be in the
Summer) so there are no Uniform Expectations, except it should be appropriate and warm (the Sports Hall is cold in
January!) – no shorts, vest tops etc. All students will be issued with an Examination lanyard which will also have your
Photo ID – this must be worn around the school at all times during these 2 weeks.

Where do we need to be?

For morning exams, please enter school as normal and be present in the Sport Hall Playground for 8.00am. We will try
to get you in the Sports Hall and started ASAP. Those who sit exams in other locations should also report to the Sports
Hall Playground. After your exams, you will either return to lessons or be dismissed to break, depending on the finish
time. The only exception to this will be the MFL Listening and Reading Exams on the 7 th January (INSET day) when
all students will return home after their Exam. Students with examinations in session 2 should go to the Sports Hall
Playground for 11:15 – again we will try to get you in and started ASAP. Those without a second exam will remain in
normal lessons where your teachers will allow you to revise (or continue work if you have no exam in that subject).

I don’t see my subject on the Exam Timetable.

All students have already sat Biology and some English Literature papers in October/November. NCFE/CTEC Exams in
Health and Social Care, Business and PE are taken in 2 windows during the school year. In addition, some practical
subjects such as Art, Textiles, Hospitality and Catering and Product Design are not running exams because of changes
to Exam Board requirements, or they were taken in Year 10. IMedia students will be sitting an External Examination
on 10th January.

What if there is bad weather/snow?

Exam Board regulations state that examinations have to go ahead on the scheduled date and at the scheduled time. If
the school closes for any reason, the examinations will still have to run. This includes if there is snow – all students will
need to attempt to come into school, but if they are finding this difficult or it is deemed as being unsafe, you must
contact the school immediately. We recognize that January’s exams are “Mocks”, but we still expect you to treat them
as if they were the real thing as they may still form part of any Teacher Assessed Grades we have to submit. We will
advise all students via text and update the school website regarding this matter if it arises.

What if I have to Self-Isolate?

Please inform the school asap of any positive test result/symptoms as you normally would. Where possible, we will
arrange for the exam to be uploaded to the Year 11 Google Classroom and it can be completed in supervised conditions
at home and submitted for marking via the Classroom (or dropped off at school by a parent/sibling). We will need all
students to sit all their Centre Assessed Examinations in case we need to submit any Teacher Assessed Grades in
Summer 2022.
Thank you, as ever, for your support of the students, and we wish you a peaceful (but productive!) December and
holiday period.
Yours faithfully
Mr M Larner Mr U Bulbul

 HELPING YOUR CHILD THROUGH EXAMS

Take an Interest
One of the most important things you can do to motivate your child is to take an interest in their
education. Speak to them about how their studies are going, what is working well and what
problems they are having.
Look for opportunities to praise them and support them where possible.
Keep checking to see how they are getting on during the year and the revision period.

Target Grades
Every student is set a target grade for each subject and you can find these on their progress
check. This grade is what they are capable of achieving as a minimum.
Discuss how challenging it is to meet these targets and get them to have realistic expectations of
what they can achieve.
Ask them which subjects they want to do particularly well in and they want to achieve higher
than their target grade.

Incentives and Rewards

Discuss with your child the reasons for them needing to do well in their GCSEs and what their
goals are. Having a clear understanding of what grades they need to get into sixth for or college
is important.
Some students need more of incentive than just getting good GCSE results. You may want to
discuss what rewards or incentives will motivate them
Remember it is important that they try their best and be positive whatever the results.

Help them make a start

Make sure they have all the basic equipment they need such as pens, pencils, calculator,
geometry set etc. for their exams.
Ask them if they need any subject specific revision guides which are available through the
school.
Try to make sure they have a quiet working environment to study at home

Revision
Discuss with your child what their plans are for revision and help them put together a revision
timetable.
Make sure they start early. Many successful year 11 students begin revising for their final exams
in January/February and 'full-on; revision at the beginning of the Eater holiday.
Get them to create their own revision notes and not just read a book.
Make sure they are testing themselves by completing past exam questions.

Healthy Lifestyle
Do not underestimate the difference a healthy lifestyle can make to your child's performance at
school.
Eating and exercising well can reduce stress on the body and help make someone feel good
about themselves.
