Year 11 Revision Timetable

 

As in previous years, as the exam season gets underway, the Year 11 timetable will revert to a structured revision programme which will commence on Monday 21 May. This revision programme will consist of planned sessions that coincide with the exam timetable.

This means that the last date of the current Year 11 timetable will be on Friday 18 May after which the new timetable will come in to effect.
