Year 10: End of year exams

For the exams at the end of Year 10, you will sit three papers: one Biology, one Chemistry and one Physics paper.

Each will be a full GCSE Paper 1. This allows us to use the accredited mark schemes and grade boundaries to assess your current working-at grade as accurately as possible.

Each paper will be 1 hour and 15 minutes long. This provides excellent preparation for the real GCSE examinations, including exam technique, pace, timing and maintaining concentration throughout the paper.
