Notes
• We cannot provide an individual timetable at this stage, but this timetable
lists all GCSE exams in the main exam period beginning on 16th May.
• These times and dates are dictated by the awarding bodies and cannot be
changed.
• Practical exams in Art, Dance, Drama, ICT and Music will take place before
this date.
• Individual timetables will be issued for checking in February 2016.
• You can use the drop-down menu in the Subject: Paper column to select
the exams you are taking and thus make a personalised timetable.
Session
• Morning exams begin at 9:00am
• Afternoon exams begin at 1.15pm.
Paper code
• Searching online by Awarding Body and Paper Code will easily find
specification information and past papers.
Subject: Paper
• In many papers there is a choice between Foundation and Higher tiers
(F/H) Decisions about the correct tier will be made by teachers and this
information will be given to you in February.
Languages exams
• The Listening and Reading exams in each subject take place consecutively.
Science exams
• Double Science will consist of the three Science and the three Additional
Science exams (six exams in total).
• Triple Science will consist of the three Science, the three Additional
Science and then Physics, Chemistry and Biology separate exams (nine
exams in total).
Clashes
• Occasionally a student will have 2 or more exams scheduled for the same
session.
• We have to follow strict rules to resolve these clashes. If the total exam
time in one session is more than 3 hours we can move an exam to the
other session in the same day.
• There is no need to notify us of clashes: we will resolve these routinely
later in the year, in discussion with the student.
