E29 had a fantastic and full-on first week back after the break! They’ve successfully completed their expedition “You Give Me Fever” and impressed everyone with their powerful POL (Presentation of Learning) on Wednesday night — a brilliant celebration of all their hard work and learning.

To round things off with some Easter cheer, we took part in a timeless classic: the egg and spoon race! Never too old for a bit of fun — and of course, a well-deserved choccy treat for all the effort!

Dear Parents and Families of Students in Year 10, 

Our Year 10 students are now at a stage in Key Stage 4 where they are ready to undertake their first round of mock GCSE examinations. These will take place during the week commencing April 28th. As this is the first set of mocks students have done, it will not be a full set, and instead students will sit a small sample from each of our core subjects to get them used to the process of preparing and sitting exams. Please see the timetable attached below. 

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s Crew Leader in the first instance.

Best wishes, 

The Year 10 Team
