Messages to Parents
This Half Term students have been looking into the GCSE option choices that will be made available for them to choose. As part of this process students have been given a sheet which outlines the list of option subjects to choose from. Students have been encouraged to take these sheets home and talk through the options available and the potential future educational and career routes.
Recognition
Half Term 5 - six students from the year group have been recognised for the quality of the work they have produced or the positive attitude to learning they have displayed and have been added to the Hall of Fame.
