Year 11

Year 11 have had an extremely busy term, with PPE examinations and college applications taking place. Students have worked hard throughout, and it is now really important that they take time to rest and recharge over the Christmas period in preparation for the term ahead.

Attendance this term has been excellent across the year group, with particular praise going to 11 Carew for their outstanding attendance. Thank you to parents and carers for your continued support in ensuring students attend school regularly.

A special shout-out goes to the 180 students in Year 11 who currently have five or fewer behaviour points. This reflects consistently positive choices and attitudes, and we are incredibly proud of this achievement.

As always, we are proud to recognise our Scientists of the Half Term. Congratulations to our Biologist of the Half Term Edward C (11B), Chemist of the Half Term, Ethan D (11C), and Physicist of the Half Term, Zain G (11M).

We would also like to congratulate our top three Achievement Point earners this half term: Max D (11SB), Joshua O-M (11SB), and Aiden R (11M) a fantastic achievement.

Finally, well done to 11Merton, who are the winning tutor group and will be enjoying their afternoon tea tomorrow as a reward for their efforts.

We wish all Year 11 students and their families a restful and enjoyable Christmas break.

Miss Zimmermann, Head of Year 11
