Dear Parent/Carer
We are writing to invite you to the Year 12 Parent/Student Hybrid Consultation Evening which will be held in school and online on Tuesday 26 March 2024 from 3.30pm until 6.45pm. During this evening you will have the opportunity to meet with a selection of subject teachers to discuss work, attitude and progress.
The school uses an online appointment booking system. This allows you to choose your own appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming your appointments; please note that there is a maximum of 8 appointments allowed per student. After consulting with staff and parents, we have decided to offer both in-person meetings and online appointments to ensure that we can support you in the best way possible.

Dear Y13 Parents and Guardians
On Monday the 11th of December the Y13 mocks begin - attached you will find the timetable showing the days on which your daughter/son has their exams. On the days when they do not have an exam scheduled, they will be off timetable and therefore be allowed to study at home. If they would like to come in and use the Sixth Form study area they are more than welcome to do so. We also remain open after school if students would like to stay on in the afternoons to revise. Please note that students who do Health & Social Care and/or Btec Science are still expected to attend those lessons as normal during the mock period.
All Y13 students have been reminded of the need to be on time for their exams. They must arrive early and be outside their exam venue at least 10-15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Students writing exams in the morning are encouraged to leave home extra early to give themselves time to navigate the traffic. Students should also allow themselves enough time to drop their phones off to their named envelope in the Sixth Form admin office, where they will be kept securely for the duration of their exam.
All Y13s are invited to join us on the last day of term - Thursday 21st December - for a final day of festive cheer before the Christmas break.
As always, please do get in contact if you have any concerns or queries. I wish all the Y13s the very best for their exams!
Kind regards
Lauren Viola
Head of Year 13
