At Hazel Wood High School, we believe that every student has the right to education, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, or gender. We assert that there should be no barriers to a student's success here, and therefore we have provided all our students with a bespoke, personalised pack containing revision guides to support them and help them aspire to achieve their best in their exams.
The purpose of this page is to share a range of information, resources, and links that can assist you in preparing your child for their exams. The drop-down menus on the left-hand side of this page, along with the sections below, contain information on the GCSE courses currently being studied by our Year 11 students, exam timetables (including mock exams), exam rules and regulations, as well as information on appeals.
Mock Exams
Year 11 students will complete a series of mock examinations to allow teachers to identify gaps in knowledge and enable the school to implement intervention strategies to help your child achieve the best possible grade. These exams will take place at two points during the year: November 2024 and February/March 2025.
Year 10 students will also complete a series of mock exams in June 2025
Timetables for these mock exam series can be found in the drop-down menu on the left-hand side of this page.
Summer Exam Series
This year's summer exam series is scheduled to take place between Friday 2nd May and Tuesday 17th June. The timetable for the exam series can be found in the drop-down menu on the left-hand side of this page.
Session 7
Hazel Wood provide our students with the additional support of subject specific intervention sessions prior to the exam series, which take the form of Session 7 classes in Year 11.
It is vital that Year 11 students attend Session 7, as these sessions are tailored to individual student needs based on the most up-to-date data. This provides staff with the opportunity to work with smaller groups, addressing gaps in knowledge and any misconceptions students may have. It also presents a further opportunity for staff to support students who require assistance with exam techniques and subject-specific skills.
Collecting GCSE Results
GCSE Results Day is on Thursday 21st August 2025 and students can come into school to collect their results on the day. Further information will be sent to students regarding timings in due course.
HWHS staff and Kevin Welch from Realistic Choices, the school’s Independent Careers Adviser, will be on hand to offer any advice or support our former Year 11 students may need.
Individual results will also be emailed out to students via their school email addresses at 8.30am on the morning of results day. Students will be able to access their email accounts by going to https://www.office.com/ and using their school email address and existing password. Please note that access to these email accounts will then be disabled on Friday 29th August.
Please also note: we can only give results out to the student themselves unless they write a signed letter of request with a named person to attend in their place. If your child will not be able to collect their results in person and would like somebody else to collect them on their behalf, please complete and return the Third Party Collection Form, which can be found attached to the letter here.
