8th June 2022


Dear Parent or Carer,

We have been extremely impressed with how our Year 11 students have tackled the start of their exam season and we have every confidence that they will continue to work in a determined and focused way for the remaining exams. As you are aware, the final exam for all students is on Thursday 23rd June.

As some subjects begin to be completed, it is sensible to adapt accordingly. We know that the exam period is tiring and stressful and we want to do everything that we can to continue to support students to be successful.

As a result, from Friday 10th June, we will offer Year 11 students the option to be in school for pre-exam warm up sessions, exams and specific revision sessions only. We know that for many students, preparing for exams at home will be effective, alongside the specific timetabled revision sessions in school. However, we also recognise that for some students it is still best for them to attend school from 8.45am to 3pm as normal. For these students, we will offer supported and supervised ‘drop down’ revision sessions. Any Year 11 students that remain for these sessions will be registered and supervised by members of staff and supported to revise for any exams they have left.

Students will be bringing home a copy of the schedule today, and spare copies are available to collect from reception.

Please complete this Google Form by the end of the week, to indicate whether your son or daughter will be:

a) In school for pre-exam warm up sessions, exams and specific revision only from Friday 10th June
or
b) In school 8.45am to 3pm as normal from Friday 10th June.

Some other key dates:
Last day for all Year 11 including shirt signing, Leavers’ assembly and BBQ: Thursday 23rd June.
Year 11 Prom: Friday 15th July.
Year 11 results day: Thursday 25th August.

Please do contact the school if you have any questions or concerns about the next few weeks.

Yours sincerely
