Preparing for Success
Exams are an unavoidable part of education and so Dawlish College is committed to ensuring that students from Year 7 onwards are given the right support and preparation to fulfill their academic potential and increase their life chances.
A key part of the preparation is that students will experience ‘low stakes’ tests in exam conditions from Year 7. These will be stage-appropriate and build in length and number as students move up through the College. These are essential in order to introduce students to the rigour of examinations so that they become accustomed to the environment thereby reducing stress and anxiety in Year 11.
