HEADTEACHER ASSEMBLIES – Working together for excellence

I met with all the year groups last week to talk about how best we can support students in their learning: for the Year 11s we are emphasising the need to PLAN their revision before their exams in order to do justice to their learning and to reflect their hard work; for the Year 10s we want them to be thinking already of how they will structure their learning over the next 16 months  to give them the best possible grades they can achieve; for our Year 9s it is about their options – which study paths to take that give them the most flexible choices for their GCSEs, A levels and beyond; for our Year 8s and Year 7s we covered leadership and taking the opportunities presented to them to participate fully in their whole school experience; and for our Sixth Form it is all about putting in the time and effort now for the payback of choice for University/College or apprenticeship and their eventual career path.  It is a competitive world our students are preparing to enter and we want them ready and excited to grasp the opportunities ahead of them
