Dear Year 11 Students and Parents/Carers,
We have now had two weeks of ‘full’ GCSE examinations which have been completed very successfully. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our students for the mature and sensible manner in which they have conducted themselves during this very demanding and stressful period.
From Monday 5th June onwards, Year 11 students will no longer be required to attend school full-time. From this date, they are only required to attend on the days and at the times that they have examinations. If students have exams in the morning and afternoon sessions on the same day then they will have to return home after the morning exam and return to school for the afternoon one – they will not be permitted to be on site in the interim period.
Students must be aware that all usual school rules apply with regard to our Five Respects and standards of uniform and behaviour for the remainder of their time in school. Any students who fail to meet our high expectations of conduct (both within school and travelling to and from school) during the whole month of June will be at risk of one or more of the following sanctions: –
- Loss of Prom place
- Loss of invite to Results Day
- Loss of invite to Presentation Evening
- Fixed term exclusion, which will remain on the student’s permanent record, be shared will sixth-form colleges and could jeopardise the student’s place at their preferred college
- Permanent exclusion (as above)
We look forward to welcoming all Year 11 students back to school after the half-term break and for the examinations to continue to run smoothly and successfully. It is obviously crucial that students attend all of their remaining exams and are fully aware of the dates and times of these (as outlined on the attached GCSE Exam Timetable).
If your teacher/subject has arranged for a revision session to take place immediately prior to the exam, this will take place in the Dance Studio. Please wait outside student entrance to be collected.
You must arrive at school 15 minutes prior to the start time of your exam and wait outside student entrance. You will enter school using the gate to the left of the dance studio and then make your way to your exam room, unless prior arrangements are already in place with Mr Miah or Mr Tootill.
GCSE Results Day will be 9am on Thursday 24th August, results will also be emailed to your TRS email account from 11am.
Kind regards
Mr Cregg
Headteacher
