Our approach to examinations
School plan for success:
• Jan-Feb:
• Normal curriculum, prioritising areas of study not encountered
in Years 3-5
• Teachers will start to ‘find the gaps’ using surveys and quizzes
to determine areas of weakness, to be revised later
• March-April:
• Introduce exam techniques & sample questions one lesson per
week in each exam subject
• ‘Low stress, high challenge’, not a rehearsal for the test itself
• E.g. ‘Hack The Test’ – open book, pair/group exam practise
to overcome nerves
