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