All the hard work has come down to this! Exam season is here and we are ready for it! We understand how nerve-wracking it can be, not only as student, but also as parents and carers, and even teachers. Though we can’t take the exams for them, we will equip, support and encourage them into doing their best. That’s what it’s all about after all!
In the last month or so, we have been focusing on exam stress and how to deal with the anxieties that come with it. It’s been helpful for our students to identify the triggers and find ways to keep themselves calm. There are useful resources and support for both school and home developed by charities such as Young Minds and Student Minds. Another charity such as Place2Be offers free printable resources, too.
Regardless of the outcome, we are so proud of our students and all that they have achieved already. It’s not always about the academic achievements but the level of growth and personal development in each individual. All of us at Riverside have seen how our students have gained confidence and skills throughout the year. We hope this development continues as they eventually leave us for college or employment.
To make sure everyone is up to date, we have our exams information on our website. If you have any questions or queries regarding the exams timetable, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
