Letter from The Headteacher

7 May 2021

Dear Parent

I am writing to inform you that the last day in school for Year 11 pupils will be Friday 28 May 2021. After their leavers assembly, pupils will leave school at 12.30pm. They continue to work hard towards their GCSE assessments.

It is important to keep you updated on our progress towards Summer 2021 grades for your child. We have been delighted by the way the vast majority of Year 11 pupils have responded to our plans and are grateful to you for the fantastic support and encouragement you have provided as part of this. Where pupils have attended and engaged with the support offered to prepare them for any remaining assessments, they have been producing pieces of work we can all be proud of.

In an extremely small numbers of cases however, individual pupils are still missing assessments and we have not yet been able to collect sufficient evidence from them to justify a grade decision. If this remains the case at the end of this half term, as a last resort, we will contact you and make arrangements for your child to return to school on Monday 7th June to take any final assessments. The individual pupils in this situation will be offered the chance to work in school during half term so that they have time and space to prepare and revise.

For all Year 11 pupils, results day will be 12 August 2021 and we shall be in touch, in due course, to explain arrangements for collecting results and the support and guidance that will be available to pupils and parents/carers.

Please can students arrange to use the balances on their catering account (general and pre-order) over the next few weeks.
If there are accounts with high balances that will not be used during this period, please contact the school office to make arrangements to have the balances refunded via a BACS payment to your bank.

Many thanks for your continuing support.

Yours sincerely

Richard Varey
Headteacher
