Year 10 (C29) Mock Exams
Now that mock exams have been marked, moderated and graded; students will be receiving the their results today. Students will receive two grade cards. The first details the grades for this set of exams. The second provides subject teachers predicted grades for the final exams in Year 11. These predictions are informed by mock grades, but also other assessments that students have done over the year as well as attendance and Habits of Work and Learning.
After half term, you will have received an invite into school for a Teacher-Student Led Conference where students will reflect on their progress with subject teachers and parents. This will also provide an opportunity for parents to ask any subject specific questions directly.
In Year 11, students will sit two more rounds of mock exams in order to prepare for the final GCSEs. We of course hope and expect students to work hard, get smart and be kind over the next year to give them the very best chance of success.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact your child’s Crew Leader or subject teacher in the first instance.
Best wishes,
Mr Voltaire and the Year 10 Team.

Netball Fever: Students Witness the Game Live
Students recently enjoyed an exciting trip to watch Leeds Rhino’s V Manchester Thunder, giving them the chance to experience the fast-paced action and atmosphere of the game up close.
From the first whistle to the final score, students were captivated by the speed, skill and teamwork on display. The energy inside the arena was electric, with plenty of cheering, excitement and memorable moments throughout the match.
The trip was not only a fantastic opportunity to watch elite athletes perform, but also an inspiring experience for students involved in school sport. Seeing the communication, determination and sportsmanship shown by the players highlighted the importance of teamwork both on and off the court.
A brilliant evening was had by all, and students left feeling motivated, inspired and ready for the netball season.
Well done Rosa Parks
Last week saw E30 take on their Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition. It was a fantastic two days for these students, who demonstrated determination, courage, resilience and teamwork throughout.
The rain arrived earlier than expected, so tents went up in record time as the group worked together to get set up and cook some scrumptious food. An early morning start led to a few tired eyes, but they took it all in their stride and were ready for the walk ahead.
Now for the real thing. Well done everyone.
