Examinations and assessments for all year groups take place during the year at Excelsior Academy. The outcome of internal examinations taken by students in years 7 to 10 is used to help teachers plan subsequent lessons and reinforce learning.
Exam Anxiety and Stress
If you are concerned about being overly anxious about examinations, remember that you can get advice by talking to your Tutor, Year Manager or any of your teachers. Never panic, we can help!
Examination and Revision Support
Preparation is key to success in any examination. Developing techniques to answer the type of questions that appear on examination papers is therefore built into lessons throughout every subject in every year group.
It is important that any student who feels they may need additional support speaks to their teacher well ahead of any examination.

At Excelsior, we have a carefully planned programme of examination preparation and support for our Year 11.
