move to linear exams has resulted in an increase of informal assessments throughout the year. It is
also the year were a lot of subjects get students to complete controlled assessment which is often
worth at least 25% of their GCSE grade, with limited availability to re-sit. The purpose of this booklet
is to try and support parents and students by providing information that will enable you to clearly
understand the demands of Year 10.
The content of this booklet are:
Key dates for Year 10

understanding.
