YEAR 11 LETTERS
-
As part of Whole School Curriculum Day, Year 11 students will be taking part in a series of workshops to provide additional support for their GCSE exams.
The aim of the day will be to explore revision and study methods to prepare students for the demands of external examinations and to deepen their knowledge and acquisition of skills in their Sciences. Success in Science will benefit all students with their next steps, regardless of which courses they intend to pursue post-16.

We are writing to inform you of some of the extra support that we will be providing for Year 11 students in the final two terms before their examinations.
Since 2018, we have run a successful Study Programme to support Year 11 students in preparing for their examinations. This replaces homework and will run from the week beginning Monday
15 January 2024 until the summer exams. This week, students will be issued with booklets for each of their subjects which will contain all of the Study Programme tasks for that subject.

The majority of Year 11 students have expressed an interest in purchasing a hoodie to celebrate their graduation from Upper School and for completing their GCSEs. This has proved to be a popular tradition with students over the years and we are keen to continue it.
Hoodies must be purchased in advance and are now available on ParentPay. The deadline for all orders is 4.00pm on Monday 8 January 2024. Please pay via ParentPay at your earliest convenience, ensuring that you carefully select the correct option for the hoodie that your daughter has ordered with us in school (see below for the two available options). After this date, there will not be any further opportunities to purchase a hoodie.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your child’s annual flu vaccination is now due. This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and sometimes causes serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu. Please click here to open ‘TGS Parent Flu School Letter’.pdf
