Year 12 and 13 Examination and Revision Calendar 2016
Name ________________ Progress Tutor ________________
How will this examination booklet work for me?
Most of the key milestones for external assessments are recorded here to support your planning and manage your time. In addition, staff have identified
when they will run focused masterclass sessions to work on final exam technique and tips prior to sitting the AS examinations.
It is important to remember that this calendar is not a substitute for planning a revision timetable but should complement it when planning out your time. If
you are studying vocational courses then that time must be planned for in the same way.
Your Progress Tutor will review your revision plans with you and expect you to plan your time wisely and effectively. It is important to bring this booklet to
Tutor meetings to discuss your progress and planning.
All class lessons for Year 12 and 13 will continue in all subjects until May Half Term. This is Whitsun Reading Week that begins on 30th May 2016. After
Whitsun students studying A Levels will attend their examinations and all master classes identified for their subject. Students are welcome to be on site
full time to use the study facilities.
Vocational lessons will continue as normal throughout the examination period for both Year 12 and 13.
What to do next.
1 Read through the booklet and identify:
2 Share this information with your parents.
3 Work out when your key milestones are and draft a revision schedule to manage your preparations.
4 Examination preparation will continue in some PSHCE lessons – so it is important to ensure that you explore the best techniques that will work for
you.
5 Talk to your teachers about what support you are being offered and listen to their advice.
