Year 11 Summer Examinations 2025 with Extended Break and Early Lunch Times. Weeks 3

Year 11 Update - 19th May 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

We want to say a big well done to our Year 11 students. They've shown real commitment by sticking to their routines, attending lessons and pre-exam briefings, and approaching their exams with focus and maturity. This really shows their ambition to do their best – we’re very proud of them.

Your support is still really important.
Please make sure your child continues to attend all lessons when they are not in exams, right up until Friday 13th June 2025. This helps keep them in a good routine, revising with their teachers, and staying fully prepared.

Important reminder:
Once an exam ends, students must return to lessons – they are not free to leave.
If a student chooses not to attend lessons or leaves the site without permission, they may not be invited to our end-of-year celebrations – including Signing Out Day, the BBQ, and Prom.
Please support us with this. We've heard some students have told parents/carers “everyone else is only coming in for exams” – but this simply isn’t true. Attendance has been very strong, and we’ve been really impressed by the whole year group. Well done, team!
