Year 10 Mock Exams 28th ndJune 2 July

Year 10 Mock Exams 28th June – 2nd July Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this booklet of pre-released topics and revision material is useful in supporting your son/daughter with their revision for the upcoming mocks. Students have previously been given these topics in class and should be familiar with them, as well as how and what to revise. Although students have been emailed a provisional copy of their timetable, a final version will be emailed to students on Friday 18th June. This will also be available to you via MCAS. We will hold an exam logistics briefing for Year 10 to ensure everybody knows where they need to be and at what time. Details will follow via the Parent Bulletin. Yours sincerely,

Max Gayler
