The structure of the 6th Year mock exam timetable, particularly in week 2,  will mean that students may not be in school for full days during these two weeks.
 
If students do not have an exam for a particular day or exam session, we would encourage them to study at home. However, we will provide a study room for those that cannot study at home.
 
Parents must use the SCHOOL APP to submit a note if their 6th year son/daughter is arriving late (Late Note) /leaving early (Permission to Leave Note) unaccompanied during the normal school day. This derogation only applies for the duration of the mocks.
