Examinations are both stressful for students and their parents/carers.

We aim to support both students and their families by providing them with both revision guidance, support materials and examination timetables. In year 11 we will hold an examination information evening and outline strategies and support mechanisms that will enable everyone in our Hastings family to perform their best. 

If you require any support please contact your child's Head of Year or class teachers for individual subject questions that you may have.

Apprenticeships

Earn while you Learn!

Modern apprenticeships can lead to some fantastic opportunities. Many employers regard apprentices as more valued than traditional academic pathway employees as they have more practical skills and  work experience. They are far different from traditional apprenticeships and lead to formal qualifications and offer entry routes to Higher level and degree apprenticeships in many cases. See the "Choices@" tab at the top of this page for more info or click here.
