Exam Week is Here!

November 24, 2025

It’s November exam week here at the college, an important time in the academic calendar for all of our students. Throughout the week, each year group will complete two exams per day, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their learning and progress across a range of subjects.

For our first years, this week marks their introduction to the structure and routine of in-house examinations. It’s a new experience and an opportunity to develop good study habits, exam techniques and confidence for the years ahead. We are proud of their hard work and the positive approach they have shown in preparations.

At the other end of their school journey, our sixth years are undertaking their final set of in-house exams. These assessments play an important role in their preparation for the state examinations to come, and they provide a valuable chance to consolidate learning and reflect on areas for further growth.

Teachers and staff across the school are supporting students as they navigate this busy week, and we encourage everyone to look after themselves – get plenty of rest, stay organised and approach each exam with focus and confidence.

We wish all of our students the very best over the coming days.
