A full exam experience, condensed into two weeks

Because the Mocks are held over just a fortnight, they will feel more pressured than the GCSE exam series; unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to alleviate this, but will stand pupils in good stead for their GCSEs…

Mocks timetable to be released on 16th October 2026

The ‘real deal’ – written exams held over five full weeks, from 10th May to 23rd June

GCSE Timetable – Summer 2027

The Art exam and French Speaking exam will be sat in early May

The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) work with the major Awarding Bodies (including all four that Chetwynde use for GCSEs) to ensure the arrangements for exams and assessments are fair, consistent and run smoothly for everyone concerned

Please find below links to information for candidates published by JCQ – this information is updated annually, early in the academic year

Pupils must have a clear pencil case with all of the relevant equipment for the examination they are sitting – dependant on the subject and/or paper, this may include:

  • Black pen, and spare
  • Pencil, and spare
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Highlighter (for use on questions only)
  • Eraser
  • Ruler
  • Protractor
  • Pair of compasses
  • Scientific calculator, which must be in exam mode

The school will provide tracing paper (for use in Mathematics examinations) and there will be spare pens and pencils – however, the school will not provide any other equipment for examinations.

It is the responsibility of pupils to be properly equipped for their examinations.
