During the PREP examination period, it is critical that Year 11 students attend school on time each day. Students need to arrive at school shortly after **8:15am** and go to the dining area. After the first bell, students will move to their venues for an exam booster, led by their specialist teachers. Exams will commence promptly at **9:00am**. Students who do not have an afternoon exam will go to **normal timetabled lessons**. Obviously, this is an incredibly important time for your child. It will require their focus and determination to succeed, and we would encourage you to fully support them throughout this busy time. Yours sincerely Mr M Doyle Assistant Headteacher ![](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/images/Letterheads/Glenn/LetterFooterWebSept25.jpg) --- ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-english-martyrs-catholic-school-and-sixth-form-3/files/documents/exams/NovemberPrepExams2025.jpg) [Year 11](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/year-11) [Latest News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) [ World Mental Health Day 2025](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-10-07-world-mental-health-day-2025) [Year 11 October Half Term - Revision Sessions ](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-10-22-year-11-october-half-term-revision-sessions) ### 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/)
