Coping with Exam Stress

Exams can be a challenging time, and we are committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing of our pupils throughout the process.

We help pupils manage exam stress by:

  • Creating calm and predictable routines

  • Offering pastoral support and time-out spaces

  • Using social stories and visual timetables to reduce anxiety

  • Encouraging positive reinforcement and celebrating effort

Parents and carers can support at home by:

  • Keeping routines consistent

  • Talking positively about exams

  • Helping pupils take regular breaks and get enough sleep

  • Reassuring them that their best effort is what matters most
