Year 10

Hello Year 10,

What a crazy year this has been! It was nearly a year ago when we were told to stay at home for the first time and we did not see each other for six months. Our time together was brief before we were told to stay at home again, during the third lock down.

What will you share with others on your return? What have you learnt about yourself during this year? What have you learnt about your friends and family? If you could write a list of things that you would change and that you would keep the same, what would that list look like? Would it be a long list or a short one? Would it one full of joy and reflexions or one full of regrets and missed opportunities?

As we prepare to return to our time together in school, my list is short and is one of priorities. The priority on my list is YOU. I want to be there for you, to support you and walk with you through the rest of this year to make sure you are fully equipped to enter your final year in your GCSE journey.

As you come back, Mr Moynihan and I will share with you our ideas and opportunities to help you reach your potential and to choose your journey for the next three years in Upper School. We invite you to make the most out of them and to grab them with both hands!

Use this last week to reflect and to ask yourself what you want from the remainder of year 10, for this will only happen once in your student life. Then come back and seize those opportunities together with all of us, share what you have learnt in this time and remind yourself of the importance of enjoying every day together again.

I am looking forward to seeing you all in March. Welcome back Year 10, it is good to have you back.

Miss Carbajo
