To our Year 10s, congratulations on completing your first mock exams in history! You have demonstrated maturity not only in how you conducted yourselves in the classroom during the exams, but also in how you prepared and revised for the two papers. It was a pleasure to see the variety of revision cards and the number of students logging on to the history revision website throughout the exam period. You have shown that you are ready for the challenges of the next academic year, and I am confident that if you continue to show this level of effort, you will reach new academic heights in your study of history.
