• Year 11 and Post 16 Pathways Mock Season in the first two weeks of January annually. In 2023-24 the Mock season will begin on the 15th December 2023 and end on the 12th January 2024 for written exams and practicals.

The Mock Seasons cover written exam content only for GCSE Options and Core Subjects. In Year 11 mocks, only if time allows, will we schedule a practical assessment for GCSE Textiles, Art Option, Photography Options, in the January Mocks, the work created will be used for students' portfolios. 

There are no mocks for vocational UAL, RSL, or BTEC qualifications in the Year 11 or 10 mocks seasons. The Live RSL and BTEC external assessments will begin in January 2024 and these will be given protected time in the December/ January Mock timetable for delivery of the live assessments. These are mandatory sessions all students for that option/strand must attend.
