On Wednesday afternoon we held the very important Year 11 Pre Public Examination Results Assembly in the Main Hall. It was a powerful occasion and certainly made the hard working students think about where they were at in terms of their learning and achievement and where they want to get to by that big day – August 25th 2022.

We still have several months to go until the GCSEs start and it was really encouraging to hear the students talk about how they want to make the all-important adjustments to their attitude to learning, revision over the Christmas holiday and approach to lessons as we start the new term in January.

The photos capture the atmosphere of that ‘moment in time’ when the students opened their envelopes and reflected on the next steps they needed to take.

Teachers at Bushey Meads School really ‘go the extra mile’ for all our hard working students. Special ‘Cracking the Core’ CDC time lessons in English, Maths and Science have been established and LRC3 has been set aside at lunchtimes from January, especially for Year 11 students, where they will have access to a whole host of past papers to complete.

Teachers are planning February half term and Easter revision lessons and the Study Support Saturdays will be starting again soon. This is in addition to all the highly focussed and well planned daily lessons and lunchtime and after school support sessions on offer each and every week.

As parents and carers, do carefully discuss with your child where they are at on their journey to their crucial GCSE Exams in May and June next year.
