TCE August Exams run from Monday next week (8th August) until Tuesday 16 August (inclusive). Students were given a copy of our information booklet last term, containing lots of relevant information, including the exam timetable. It is important that students familiarise themselves with this document and ensure they are on time for their exams. Students only need to come to school when they have an exam during this period but are welcome to come in and study in the library or Undercroft if they would like. Formal school uniform is not required during the exam period.
Instructions were also shared with students in assembly on Monday, the presentation is available to be viewed here.
