Dear Parents,
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a celebratory event for Year 11 students on Friday 26th May. The event will take place during Period 5, Lunch, and Period 6.
We will be having Pizza and games with the students during Period 5 and lunch and then a special assembly during period 6. The assembly will be an opportunity to celebrate the successes of our students during the time they have been with us.
We will of course continue to run either usual lessons or interventions according to the needs of your child during Periods 1 to 4. Please be sure to check the daily examination briefing that we have been sending on the Thursday night to see what the provision will be.
Students will not need to bring lunch or money on that Friday as it will be provided free.
Friday 26th May, of course marks the last day of the first half of the summer term, with the half term break starting immediately after. We know this will be a time of hard work and revision for your child and we wish them all the best in their revision. If you are looking for guidance on how you can support your child through this exam period, Young Minds.org offers some useful tips for parents. These can be found on their website: https://www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/parents-a-z-mental-health-guide/exam-time/. There are also pages for your child to access for advice on coping with exam stress: https://www.youngminds.org.uk/young-person/coping-with-life/exam-stress/
Following the half-term break we will continue with lessons and interventions as normal. As always, we cannot emphasise enough the importance of students maintaining the highest level of attendance to all their lessons right through and up until the end of the examination period. We will also continue to offer breakfast revision clubs and afterschool revision sessions until the end of the examination period.
We very much hope that the students enjoy the event on Friday and would like to congratulate the students on the start they have made to the exams and wish them all the best of luck for the remainder of them.
Yours Sincerely
Paul Boston
Vice Principal.
