Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we begin Term 3, the final term of the academic year, we would like to thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.
I hope that the Easter break has allowed for some rest and recuperation before we enter what is now the ‘final straight’ for Year 11.
This term is crucial as students prepare for their end-of-year examinations and final assessments.
Below are key updates and reminders to ensure a successful and productive term.
Examination Schedule & Preparation
(I)GCSE exams will take place on the Main Campus. A detailed timetable has been shared with students, and a copy can be found here.
Encourage consistent revision and time management to avoid last-minute cramming.
Ensure your child attends all scheduled classes and revision sessions.
Important Dates
The Last Day of School for Year 11s will be Wednesday 30th April. Students will attend lessons 1 – 4 as normal and then join me, tutors and SLT for their final Year 11 assembly.
