Year 11 - Preparation for Exams

A busy week for Year 11 students. On Wednesday 3rd December they received the results of their November Practice Examinations. The aim was to mimic the results day that they will experience in August 2015. Envelopes were handed out. The students opened their sheet and looked at the results carefully and of course they then compared their own results with those from other students. The message was simple - if you are pleased, fantastic. Now how do you make sure the same results or better are achieved next summer. If you are disappointed, what do you need to do in order to change the outcome next summer. The following day all year 11 students gathered in the Drama Hall for an inspirational message from the 'The Big Picture'. The message was serious but delivered with humour - your future, in your hands, you are the master of your own destiny BUT only if you take action. Large numbers of students report being inspired and we look forward to seeing how this impacts on their grades.
