Pre Public Examinations (PPE) March 2025
Year 10 and Year 11 learners will be sitting their external GCSE examinations during Summer 2025. In preparation for these external exams, PPE examinations will take place starting on Monday 31st March 2025 . PPEs are more formal than mock examinations and all examination material is embargoed until the examination start time.
This will allow learners to gain valuable experience sitting examinations under formal conditions and will also inform us about how learners are progressing in each of their subjects.
Exam performance will then support teachers in planning. The data gathered also allows teaching staff to be rigorously accurate in submitting predicted grades, which learners will need when completing applications to post-16 education centres.
Please see below a copy of the PPE Examination timetable.
