YEAR 9 National Key Stage 3 tests take place throughout next week for Year 9 students, beginning with English on Tuesday morning, 4th May. A letter was issued to students and parents outlining the timetable and giving further information and a special assembly was held yesterday. Students must be in school by 8.45 am for morning exams and by 1.40 pm for afternoon exams: if a student is going to be absent through illness or will be late for any reason, please ring the school (454015). YEAR 8 The parent-teacher consultation meeting for Year 8 will take place next Thursday, 7th May, from 5.30 pm onwards. Students should be making appointments for their parents to meet their teachers. YEAR 11 All Year 11 students have been issued with a revision guide and a parents' guide to GCSEs. Mrs Collard has copies of 'Letts Revision Skills: a survival guide for your GCSE exams', which costs £1 and is strongly recommended as it contains some useful tips. There will be revision opportunities on Monday 10th May and Thursdays 6th and 13th May in Rooms 85 and 86 after school. Lessons for Year 11 end in a fortnight's time, on Friday 14th May. It is important that students make the most of these final lessons to fine-tune their exam preparation. |
