Assessments

At Bishop Barrington Academy we understand the importance of assessing student knowledge to gain a better understanding of their retained knowledge, we then use this information to support teaching in lessons.

Assessment weeks/mock exams are carried out in the exam hall in exam conditions to help prepare students for their GCSE examinations.
Additional assessments will be carried out on a regular basis in classrooms during lesson time.

To support your child’s revision: 

  • Encourage your child to make a revision timetable.
  • Make sure your child has a distraction free study space with all of their study equipment to hand.
  • Make sure they have a good night’s rest.
  • Make sure they eat well and have lots of healthy snacks, and juice/water.
  • Instil a growth mindset.
