Exams 2025: Supporting Success at Northampton School for Girls

Northampton School for Girls is committed to supporting every student sitting their GCSEs and A-levels. We understand that this period can be both exciting and demanding. Our message to students and families is clear. You are not alone. We are here to help you succeed, both academically and personally.
During this time, students across Years 11 and 13 will be working hard to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and understanding they have developed over their time at NSG.
To help students feel prepared and confident, a wide range of revision support is available:
-
Subject-specific group sessions are running throughout the day and after school across all faculties
-
Home-based learning resources continue to be available to support independent revision
-
One-to-one mentoring is offered for students who need targeted help or reassurance. Mr Norwood, our dedicated exam support mentor, is available throughout the school day and can also be contacted via email for any queries or concerns
At NSG, we believe that taking care of your wellbeing is just as important as achieving academic success. We are encouraging all students to maintain a healthy balance during this time. That includes regular breaks, good sleep, staying hydrated and speaking up if they feel overwhelmed. Form tutors, pastoral leads and members of staff are always available to offer support and guidance.
As always, we expect our students to approach the exam season with maturity, calm and readiness. All students should arrive on time for their exams, dressed neatly and appropriately, and equipped with the materials they need to succeed. Being well prepared is a key part of feeling confident.
This is a moment for our students to show what they can do. It is the culmination of years of learning and determination. We are proud of each and every individual for reaching this point.
To all our exam students. Believe in what you have achieved already, and know that the NSG community is behind you. Look after your future and look after yourselves.
