📝 Year 11 Pre-Public Exams: Round One Timetable

We’re approaching a key milestone in the academic journey of our Year 11 students — the first round of Pre-Public Exams (PPEs). These exams are an important opportunity for students to experience formal exam conditions, assess their current progress, and identify areas for improvement ahead of the summer GCSEs.

The timetable for this round of PPEs has now been published and is available below. It outlines the dates, times, and venues for each subject exam, helping students and families plan and prepare effectively.

Please take a look in the Revision Top Tips section below to help you further! It’s packed with practical advice and strategies to support your preparation and boost your confidence.

We encourage all Year 11 children to approach these exams with focus and determination. Staff are on hand to offer support, revision resources, and advice throughout the process.

Let’s make this a confident step forward in your GCSE preparation!

During Year 11, the Key Stage 4 team provide a number of opportunities for students to catch up on coursework, receive extra support and participate in revision masterclasses. Click the images below to see what’s on offer. There are a range of before-school and after-school ‘extra study’ sessions.

Parental consent is required before your child can attend any of the sessions. Parents/Carers should sign up their children to the sessions through the Arbor Parent App (look for Clubs in the Activities section on the Arbor dashboard).
