It is essential that they are well prepared and get into good habits at an early stage. Further guidance on examination preparation is available on the study skills page As we approach the examinations season, we give all pupils a copy of our timetables to take home. It is essential that all pupils taking external examinations are familiar with the rules and regulations. JCQ examination rules and regulations Taking exams for the first time can be a stressful time. Pupils are encouraged to talk to their teachers about their worries.
