Notre Dame High School is committed to making every effort to ensure that the examinations are conducted in line with JCQ regulations Home – JCQ Joint Council for Qualifications and our own bespoke policies below.
We will ensure that our pupils are as well informed as possible for their examinations.
We have several teachers who are examiners in their subject area, this keeps the knowledge in the relevant subject field, fully up to date with the assessment criteria.
Students’ personal exam information (venue, exam seat, tier of entry and general information) can be viewed on Student Portal and MCAS.

Exam Schedules
Mock Assessments
- Students in Year 10, 11, 12 & 13 will sit two mock assessments prior to the main summer examination series.
- All mock assessments are to be held in the main exam halls/rooms (apart from the Y10 mock assessments in February 2027 which will be held in classrooms). We do this to ensure our students know what to expect during the formal examination series; we help them to settle and remain calm throughout.
- Dates will be added here shortly.
Essential information for pupils and parents/carers:
- Morning exams start at 9.00am and students are expected to be in school on time
- Afternoon exams start at 1:00pm and students will have an early lunch on exam days
- Any student who is entitled to access arrangements will have these in place for each of their exams
