We have also been extremely pleased with the engagement of students in Period 6 lessons. We really hope this bears fruit in the results we see at the end of this mock period. On Friday March 6th, Year 11 are scheduled to sit Maths Paper 1 in the morning and Business Studies in the afternoon. Due to some issues with facility use in school on Friday 6th March, we are going to move this day of examinations to Monday 17th March. Therefore, on Friday, Year 11 will be in all lessons as normal. As explained in my earlier notification, Period 6 will not run during the examination period. It will recommence on Monday 17th March for one week so that staff can review student exam experience, it will then be disbanded for week commencing 24th March and will recommence from week beginning 31st March. This is so that staff can carefully consider and plan the programme to be offered moving forward in order to maximise the time and support we offer to Year 11 in those crucial final months. Thank you for your continued support. ![](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/images/Letterheads/Colette/LetterFooterWebJune24.jpg) [Year 11](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/year-11) [Latest News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) [ Reading Support and Intervention at English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-02-20-reading-support-and-intervention-at-english-martyrs-catholic-school-and-sixth-form-colleg) [Oxford Catalyst Information Letter ](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-03-04-oxford-catalyst-information-letter) ### News & Gallery - [Gallery](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/photo-galleries) - [News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) - [Newsletters](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/newsletters) - [Parent Bulletins](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/parent-bulletins) ![The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/the-english-martyrs-catholic-school-and-sixth-form-3/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College Catcote Road Hartlepool TS25 4HA 01429 273790 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EnglishMartyrsSchool/) - [X](https://twitter.com/ems_hartlepool) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@TheEnglishMartyrsSchool) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ems_hartlepool/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
