HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents,

Welcome to parents of year 10 students who should now also be receiving this message. It was nice seeing so many of you brave the heavy rain on Wednesday evening to come into school for the options information talk. I hope you found it useful. Hopefully this will provide you with enough information and resources to begin those important conversations with your son/daughter. I will also be speaking to all year 10 students on the last day of term about this. HERE is the link to the information, including the presentation from Wednesday. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

The iGCSE examinations are now very nearly at an end. After today there are just two exams left with the final exam next Wednesday. Yesterday was a late night for those taking Design Technology with the final exam finishing at 10 p.m. Normally we do not allow students to sleep in the common room but I felt the need to turn a blind eye to some very tired, hard-working students who had come into school earlier in the day to revise. The exam results will be distributed to students by their Tutors on 23 August.

For year 12 students, they are now putting the finishing touches to their Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge presentations for next week and their Tutors are busy completing their university references ready for the application season that will begin as soon as we return in August. The summer should really be about completing their research of destinations and courses and trying to compose their shortlist of applications.

Arrangements are now complete for the final day on 29 June. Periods 1 and 2 will take place as normal and following assemblies and Tutor Time, school will finish at 12.15 p.m.
