  • Year 10 Update Autumn 1 2022

    Published 14/10/22

    A belated warm welcome back to all Year 10 students and I hope you all had a great summer. Whilst the summer break may seem a distant memory, Year 10 students have made an excellent start back to school as they continue with their GCSE journey. The year ahead will be an extremely important one for students as ultimately their efforts and progress will be the foundation for their final exams in Year 11. This year will also see students sit their GCSE RE exam, as well as begin coursework in a number of subjects.
