The Lower Sixth year is a crucial one. All Lower Sixth Formers will internal assessments in their chosen subjects during the summer term and more formal subject exams in Week 2 of the Michaelmas term of their Upper Sixth year. These examinations will be an important stepping-stone towards full A levels and will act as a useful indicator of academic progress, as well as contributing evidence towards UCAS predicted grades. The Lower Sixth is not a year for relaxing! All final A level examinations take place in the Summer term of the Upper Sixth year, following the timetable produced each year by the relevant examination boards.
