Dear Parent/Carer and Student

We are fortunate enough to be able to offer your child access to a pre-examination session the night before each of their science examinations, which they can access by joining via Teams.  The sessions are held by specialist teachers from Impress, and are designed to give your child the best possible boost just before their exam. 

Here’s what they’ll gain: 

• Examiner insights on how to approach the paper 
• "Super hints" and easy-win strategies to pick up marks quickly 
• A clear understanding of the paper structure and mark distribution 
• Step-by-step guidance to stay calm, focused, and in control

The sessions will run at the following times:

6.00-6.45pm - separate sessions for Foundation Triple and Foundation Combined.

6.45-8.00pm - separate sessions for Higher Triple and Higher Combined.

Students will need to join the correct session by logging onto Teams, and choosing the correct Team, either NHS-Trilogy Combined Biology, Chemistry, Physics or NHS- Triple Physics, Chemistry, Biology P1, P2. There will be option in the posts to join the correct session, either at 6pm or 6:45pm.

The session dates are outlined below (Triple and Combined at both tiers are on the same date as each other):

Biology paper 1: 12th May

Chemistry paper 1: 18th May

Physics paper 1: 21st May

Biology paper 2: 8th June

Chemistry paper 2: 12th June

Physics paper 2: 15th June

Whilst these are not compulsory, they are a fantastic method of focusing and calming the students before their examinations as well as reminding them of the key information for each one.  We hope you support us in encouraging them to join the sessions as much as you are able.

Kind regards

Mrs Howells

Deputy Headteacher
