As of this week, all year 11s are allocated three tutor times per week to complete revision for their core subjects. Students must still complete the Monday student notices and attend assemblies.

It is the expectation in all communities that students will be completing one day of English revision, one day of Maths revision and one day of Science revision using the tasks that have been uploaded onto this Google classroom. This should also allow you more time after school to prioritise options subjects and homework tasks for revision. Thank you, Community Teams.
