YEAR 11
I am really proud of Year 11, they are stepping up to the mark with their exams and really striving to do their best. When I visit pupils in lessons they are calm and focused on their work. Due to this fantastic effort there have been a high number of opportunities to reward and celebrate their success across all spheres of the school. I look forward to this continuing as we continue through the year and get closer to their exams.
ATTENDANCE Our attendance as a year group is very good and has consistently been above 95.58%. Typically in Year 11, attendance does start to drop as the pressures of the year start to get too much for pupils to manage. However due to having such a remarkable year group they have shown great resilience and our attendance is currently at 95.4%. Pupils have a great support network with their tutors and Mrs Dovey but if you are concerned about your child coping with the stress of year 11 and you are finding it is affecting their attendance then please do let me know as we are running exam stress and anxiety workshops.
Congratulations to the following pupils who currently have 100% attendance:
James Adams, Matthew Ball, Lily Beckett, Abby Clay, Luke Gillett, Toby Ireland, Jack James, Millie Keevil, Kelly Patrick, Ella Pearce, Ellie Rendall, Charlotte Rice, Oliver Seviour, Luke Slade, Tom Slip, Sophie Smith, Cole Tanner, Thomas Taylor, Leo Thompson, Jake Tunnacliffe, Kieran Vince-Clark, Kirsten Wheeler, Callum Withers.
BEHAVIOUR AND ACHIEVEMENT POINTS Year 11 are receiving very little behaviour points. My main concerns are with homework not being completed and lateness. The majority of homework being set is recapping work completed in year 10, this is all part of the revision process and it is vital homework is being completed. Please can you support your child by looking for homework in their planners and on class charts.
Year 11 achievement points are amazing! In the graph below you can see that the year group are being very successful and resilient. I am also pleased to see a

large amount of happiness value points which have steadily increased during the year, this has always been a value point that has been the least rewarded.
MOCK CONFERENCE On the 1st of February Year 11 entered the hall with in trepidation for their mock conference. They all sat waiting anxiously for their brown envelope containing their mock exam results. Before they got their hands on these, Dr Riding addressed the year group with an inspiring activity which made pupils question their starting point and reflect on their barriers.
Pupils were finally given their mock results and then time to sit and reflect on their grades. Pupils evaluated how they felt about these grades and how they could move forward and learn from any mistakes made. I was really impressed with how the year group supported each other and how they shared the elation of some and the drive to move forward with others.
I addressed the year group about their future and how to make sure they have a ‘unique selling point’. A lot of pupils have had their sixth form or college interviews and may now possibly feel like they can rest on their lauress, I explained to them they need to start engaging with activities and opportunities now to make them more employable in the future.
I was overwhelmed by the year groups response to the Mock conference and in awe of how far they have come as a group of young people and individuals. I have no doubt that the Mock conference allowed them to really think and reflect on their current grades, aspirations and hopes for the future and ultimately gave them the confidence and motivation to strive towards their GCSE exams.
