Temporary changes to break & lunch timings TODAY & THURSDAY!:

Due to the Core Year 10 mock examinations we need to change the break and lunch timings today and Thursday. You will take break 1 & lunch 1 as follows:

• Break 1 @ 10.15am

• Lunch 1 @12.30pm

When lunches are swapped - you DO NOT need to be dismissed early as all of Year 10 will be on lunch 1 only and therefore DO NOT need to be at the queue early. You only need to leave early (12.25) when it is an options exam, so for this week students who have their Food Prep & Nutrition exam on Wednesday, will be allowed to leave for lunch at 12.25. You will join Year 8 on their lunch and the rest of Year 10 will have their regular lunch during lunch 3.

Monday 22nd May

Summer term break & lunch timings:

As Year 11 go on study leave this week, we adjust the timings of break and lunch to help you get ready for next year. This means that from next half term you will be on the following timings for break and lunch:

• Break 3: 11.15 - 11.30

• Lunch 3: 1.30 - 1.55

So from period 1, you will go straight to period 2, which means break now falls between periods  2 & 3,   and after period 4, straight to lunch. Your area remains the same. 

There may be some exceptions to this when there are some exams on, it is important you check the notices each week as we will use the notices to advise you of any instructions about breaks/lunches when there is a Year 10 exam. 

Revision Strategies:

Please take some time to look through this booklet outlining effective revision strategies. Use this to reflect on the revision that you have been doing outside of school, and ask yourself if there is anything you could improve on?
