This time of year is really important for Year 11. With only 10 weeks until the first GCSE Exam we need to ensure that every learner is focused on their future success.
I wanted to use my Blog this week to share with you everything that we have in place for the learners. A newsletter will be coming out to all parents over the next few days with further information.
The STUDY FOR SUCCESS area of the website is really important. All the information for our learners is here.

February Half Term
There will be a timetable for February Half Term revision classes. As soon as this is available it will be posted home to you and also displayed on the website.
GCSE Pod
The school has bought GCSE Pod for every learner in Key Stage Four. It is an excellent tool for revision. Please ensure that your son / daughter is starting their revision now and making use of this excellent resource. Further information can be found below and by following the link above to the Study for Success Website.
