Leavers Survey '16

Book Return update please read

Dear Year 11,

Hopefully we will see most of you this afternoon for Book Return so we can sign you off and give you Prom tickets, Yearbook and Hoodies if you have ordered them. If you are unable to attend today then we will be able to complete the sign off after Leavers Assembly on Monday 27th June.

If you are missing Today and Monday then Prom tickets will be posted home and the Yearbooks and Hoodies will be stored in the Year office. You will then be able to return any books to myself or Mr Denman either at a lunch time or during tutor time and we will sign you off and hand out Hoodies/Yearbooks. Please don't come in during the school day other than Am reg or lunch because we may be teaching and the office will be locked.

Thanks
Mr White


Good luck to you all


Good luck to you all. However hard you’ve worked, you still need luck. But you can do a lot to give yourself the best chance, with good food, sleep, exercise and de-stressing strategies. If you have ANY questions, please ask!

And do remember: this is not life or death. There are many ways to a successful and fulfilled life and exams are no guarantee of anything. They are just one way to give you some wider options.

Message for all History Students please share

Hi All, 

Hope you're all ok and happy with the MTT exam. 

Assuming I don't get taken for cover I should be free (not teaching) for a lot of tomorrow. I will station myself in 550 and Mrs Warner is around also in 547. If you want to come by and do a bit of revision you are more than welcome to do so. 

If Im not there for whatever reason come and knock on my office door (top of block 3). Stay for as long or as little as you like. 

Many thanks 

Mr Hastings
