Dates for the Summer 2026 GCSE and A-Level exam series, set by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). Students are given their personal timetables before the Easter holidays.
The Pupil Premium is extra government funding to close the gap between children eligible for free school meals and their peers. At Alleyne’s, we use it to give students a wide range of cultural opportunities, such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, theatre trips, sports clubs and school trips to places like Madrid, Reykjavik, Seville and Sorrento.
Each lower school year group has a dedicated Learning Mentor who works with subject teachers to make sure Pupil Premium students get the support they need to reach or beat their target grades.
