Dear Students, Parents and Carers,
Some key dates are coming up and I’m also repeating some of the information from last week as it is vital and, if there are any errors, they need to be acted upon now.
– Year 13 Leavers Photo, Tuesday 7 May, break time in the main hall
– Year 13 Celebration Assembly, Wednesday 15 May, break time (9.50 to 10.35)
– Year 13 Prom, Thursday 27 June, at Quay Arts. Tickets cost £30 and include food and the DJ. Tickets are available through Arbor (see reception if you are struggling to pay £30 in one go). ‘Plus one’ tickets will be available after 20 May, See Mr Mumford or Mr Cody to request these.
A Level arts-based exams are now finished, with students continuing to work on their coursework / portfolios. The main bulk of exams start from 20 May, when study leave starts, although there are a few exams the week before. Year 12 trial exams start in early July and revision materials (flash cards, highlighters etc) are available at reception to support your preparation.
We distributed exam timetables last week in the assembly and they have also been emailed to students and parents. Please make sure that you check them carefully and raise any issues with the exams team next week. Do not leave it until the morning of the exam – that would be too late for any amendments to be made.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Mr Mumford
