    Halloween Revision Scheme 2026

    Eighty schools have expressed an interest in providing additional support to Year 12 pupils preparing to take modular examinations in November 2026 in GCSE English, Maths and Science.

    The funding available to each school is set out in a spreadsheet accessible by following the link below.  The available funding is tiered between £1,000 and £2,000 based on enrolment numbers of pupils in Year 12 (based on Year 11 pupil numbers in the 2025/26 census data).
