Exams

Exams are a necessary (but not always loved) part of school life. Increasingly, students now have to prepare for more exams, especially with the removal (or reduction) of coursework in many subjects.

Archbishop Sentamu Academy ensures support and guidance is in place to help students achieve their goals and full potential.

• In order to support students fully the Academy has a range of support services available, which include:
• Supported Private Study (SPS) after each academy day with the subject teachers and intervention.
• Lunch time revision sessions to each to teach key revision techniques with the Year 11 progress team.
• Half Term revision session with subject teachers.

The academy ensures all students are aware of the resources available to support during exam preparation.
Resources available;

In addition prior to each series of exams all subject teachers provide revision resources and guides available to support students in a particular area. English and Science have some super guides that are purchased at a small cost.
