As the academic year draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly memorable year for our Year 10 students. From the first day back in September to the first set of Pre-Public Exams fast approaching, our students have made an excellent start to their Key Stage 4 journey. We are proud of the way they have settled into their GCSE courses and are giving their best in all subjects.

This year has been filled with more than just textbooks and timetables. Year 10 have taken part in enriching extracurricular activities, inspiring assemblies, and valuable enrichment days. Whether it was through leadership roles, sports teams, performing arts, or simply supporting one another through the challenges of the year, they’ve contributed positively to the life of the school in countless ways. They are well over half way through their courses and are preparing to come back in September to complete the final part of their studies before the GCSEs next year.

We also want to recognise the support of families and teachers, whose encouragement and guidance are crucial during these, often stressful, times.

As the first PPEs begin at the end of this month, we want to wish every Year 10 student the very best of luck. Work hard, revise with focus, and tackle each challenge with courage.
