Welcome from the Principal
Year 11 Exam Period Arrangements
The first GCSE exam takes place on 6th May 2024. We wish to clarify a few arrangements and expectations between then and then end of the exam period.
Attendance to school & lessons
All pupils are expected to attend school and lessons as normal up until the 7th June 2024. They are required to arrive at form for 8:45am as normal and follow their ususal timetable. Where a subject has been completed pupils are expected to still go to that classroom where they will use the time for independent study on course that are not yet completed.
Uniform
Pupils do not have to wear school uniform from 6th May 2024. Appropriate dress is required. If pupils arrive in dress not suitable for a professional school setting then they will be asked to return home and change.
SFA Tutoring
Extra tutoring sessions will be set up for pupils.
- Breakfast Brain Busters – these will take place from 8am on the morning of every exam.
- Afternoon Boosters – these will take place from 11:45am before every afternoon exam.
- Last Chance SFA – these will take place from 3:15pm the day before every exam, or on the Friday before a Monday exam.
Full details of all of these will be available through the SIMs Parent app.
Celebration Assembly
We will be holding a celebration assembly event for all pupils on Thursday 6th June 2024, after their English exam. At this event, pupils will be able to do shirt signing and celebrate their time at NLC.
