Message from the Head of School:
GCSE and A-level examinations have now commenced. Students have responded well to the intervention sessions that are in place. I have been exceptionally impressed at how they have conducted themselves in the first of these examinations.
As we approach the half term, I would encourage all of our Year 11 and Year 13 students to take up all the opportunities of intervention available. It is pleasing to see all the names of students who have made the most progress from the last assessment cycle.
As the weather is getting better, we are organising more activities at lunchtime for students to ensure that they are occupied. We have a vast array of clubs on offer for students to attend and staffed sporting activities are now taking place. Please encourage students to attend these activities.
As I have stated in previous newsletters, I would welcome parents to attend our parental forum. The next one is due to take place on Thursday 13 June 2019. Should you wish to attend, please contact Diane Dale, my PA.
(Mr E Vickerman- Head of School)

All Year 10 students will be completing a spoken language assessment during the next few weeks. This involves delivering a presentation in front of the class. If this is causing undue stress and anxiety please encourage your child to speak to their English teacher in advance.
An exciting opportunity is available for Year 10 students to apply for the Hull University Summer School. This opportunity will see students access the University to sample life as a student and open up the possibility of attending University in later life. The website link below is to the application form and further details:
