Information for students, parents and carers
Good luck to all our students taking exams in GCSE English and Maths in May and June 2022.
The information below is designed to help you, and your parents or guardians. We want you to know what to expect, what to bring, and what to do on the day, so that you are prepared and can do your best. Students have been given this information already in their tutorials, in English and Maths classes, on Google Classrooms, on Nescomms, on screens around the college, and on social media.
If you have any questions please speak to your English or Maths teacher, your Personal Development Coach or your Learning Support Assistant. If you have any other questions please contact the Exams Office by calling 020 8394 3047.
In 2022 the GCSE English and Maths papers are on these dates:
You can find your own personalised GCSE exam timetable on Nescomms under ‘Timetable’. This will confirm which room you are sitting your exams in. From Monday May 9 you will also be able to be able to view this information on MyDay, our new college app.
Regardless of which room you are taking your exams in, you must register in the Refectory at 8.30am on the day of each exam. This is so that we know you are at college. We can also answer any questions you have and help you to make sure that you have everything you need with you.
You can check where and when your exams are by clicking on ‘Timetable’ on your Nescomms app. As of Monday May 9 you can also check on the MyDay app.
Wherever you are taking your exams, you must register in the college refectory at 8.30am on the day of each exam. Please don’t go directly to your exam room without registering first.
Your teachers are there to help you. Make use of the revisions sessions they are arranging.
You can also use your Google Classroom for practice tests, and Century Tech to improve your skills.
