Dear Parent / carer of Year 11 students,

Following a request from Year 11 students to bring the year group event forward from the original date (22nd June) , we have decided to now hold a short celebration event on Friday June 10.th from 11.00 am in the central hub area. We have chosen this date as there are no GCSE examinations in the afternoon.

We will provide refreshments and cake and give students the opportunity to enjoy some time with their year group and sign shirts if they want.

We would remind Year 11 that they will need to be in school uniform for all their GCSE examinations and would need to have a spare shirt if they want to have them signed. Year 11 will be allowed to leave at lunch time if they do not have a lesson in the afternoon.

Apologies if you inadvertently received information about this Friday, but this date is not possible as there is a Computing examination in the afternoon.

Thank you in advance for your support

Regards
Martin Franklin
Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers of year 12,

How does the university application process work? Can we afford it? What financial support is available? What are the alternatives to university? Is it worth it?

If these are questions that you have pondered, then please join us at an in-person talk about all things university on June 23rd between 6 and 7pm in our Theatre.

We will aim to give you a complete outline of the UCAS university application process and how you can be better informed to help your child navigate the choices presented to them post 18.

We will also outline the support and guidance that we will be providing in school for the whole of year 12 and how you can help them keep on track through the summer of year 12 after their AS exams and into starting year 13 A level courses.

The talk will be led by Miss Richmond, our Deputy Headteacher who will also share contact details of our Careers advisor, Mr R. Anderson to answer any wider questions you may have.
