Dear Students, Parents and Carers
Year 13 exams are now well underway, if you are finding anything challenging or struggling in any way, please come and speak to us.
Year 12 trial exams start in a month’s time, you should be going over your notes and burning the knowledge into your long term memory. It is your job to remember the content and our job to help you with understanding and exam technique. Ask for help if you need it, there are revision workshops you can attend and revision materials avaiable for everyone from reception.
The UCAS application process for Year 12 is now open. The VI Form buzzword for 2024 applications is ‘Popcorn’. Entering the buzzword will then link your application to the school making it easy for us to help and support you, add your school reference and your predicted grades. Everyone thinking of applying should create an account and get their basic information and GCSE results entered before we break up in July.
You will then have plenty of time to choose your six universities, start planning open day visits and complete your personal statement. I will be going over this in assemblies and Student Services will be running workshops to support you. If you are not going to university you need to be creating a CV and a draft letter of application – the equivalent of your personal statement. Student Services will also be available to help with this.
Have a great break, HWPO (Hard Work Pays Off)
