At Crofton Academy, we recognise that exams play an important role in a pupil’s journey and act as a gateway to future opportunities. Strong exam outcomes open doors to further education, training, and employment, and help pupils take confident next steps beyond school.

Preparation for exams is carefully planned over time through high-quality teaching, regular practice, and clear guidance. Pupils are supported to develop effective revision habits, secure subject knowledge, and apply exam techniques with confidence, enabling them to achieve the best possible outcomes in their assessments.

Useful Revision Links for Pupils

To support revision at home and independent study, we recommend the following trusted online resources. These platforms are used alongside classroom learning to help pupils practise key knowledge, strengthen understanding, and build confidence.

Teachers may also recommend subject-specific resources to support revision in individual subjects.

Year 11 Mock Exam Timetables

Mock examinations play an important role in preparing pupils for GCSEs and helping them become familiar with exam conditions and expectations.

Mocks help identify strengths and areas for improvement and support pupils in building confidence ahead of final examinations. 

GCSE Exam Timetables

The official GCSE exam timetable will be published on this page once confirmed by the examination boards.

Supporting Your Child with Exams and Revision

We value the important role parents and carers play in supporting pupils during assessment periods. In the lead-up to key assessments, including mock exams and GCSEs, we provide parent information evenings to help families understand:

• How pupils are being prepared in school
• What effective revision looks like at home
• How to support wellbeing and manage exam pressure
