We have made this as generic as possible, so will not have to be changed year on year with the exception of any JCQ updates. Only documents that will be changed yearly will be the Examination Timetables and Key Dates. This will reduce school costs in printing a lot of this information/providing these booklets, however, when assemblies are taking place reference needs to be made to these documents to ensure all students are fully aware of these documents and read them prior to examinations.
