Revision Sessions – reminders

Dear parent/carer

Just a few more things to make you aware of in readiness for revision sessions over the Easter break:

  • Drop in sessions are open to anyone and students can stay for as short or long a time as they wish.
  • Students are not required to wear school uniform.
  • Access to the building will be through main reception only – please ensure you sign in and out.
  • The canteen will not be open so students should bring a snack if they would like one, please do not bring anything messy. Water and orange squash will be available.
  • Fashion & Textiles sessions have been added to the original list.
  • We have also opened up some additional invites to the Science and Maths sessions; relevant students are aware and have received invites.

In addition to the above, online sessions will be available for the following subjects:

  • Computing
  • Geography
  • History

These online sessions will have links posted on Show My Homework for students to access at the specified times (click here to see the timetable).

Tassomai are running their own online sessions over the Easter break for Science, English and Maths featuring areas that students struggle with most. You can access them for free here, but will need to sign up in advance.

Summer exams

As you are aware, due to the challenges faced by students over the last two years, the Government has put in place arrangements to support students beyond what would be in place for a usual exam year.

This letter highlights those main changes and indicates where students can find the relevant information.

The Summer exam timetable can be found here. Please note that GCE = A’ Level.

Parent Survey – March 2022

Dear Parent/Carer

Please could we ask that you spend 5 minutes completing this Parent Survey. This is the first survey of this kind since the COVID pandemic and therefore we are particularly keen to receive as many responses as we can.

Thank you in anticipation for your valuable feedback. I will provide a response to the key messages we receive in due course.

Kind regards

Gwyn Williams
