I know it sometimes feels like there’s an awful lot going on, but we do understand.
The website goes through how to cope with examination stress.
Message from Mr Simpson 9th February 2022
Dear All,
Below are the links to the main examination boards we use in school. As you may be aware the government have requested changes to what the students have to study.
Please check the website for the courses being studied to review any changes the board has made, this may be a reduction in what is required normally.

All I have made some slight changes. Please look at this again,
- I am attaching the PPE timetable so you can start to plan your revision sessions.
- Remember to do your best and get the highest grades possible.
- Good luck, you are all ‘Superstars’.
Message from Mr Simpson
The new targeted intervention sessions start next Tuesday and Thursday.
Your child has been given a letter to explain what the intervention is and where to go.
Please support us and your child to attend these sessions and get the best outcomes at the end of the year.
If any student has not been chosen it is because they are on track and performing well.
Year 11
I want to say how proud I am of you all and how amazing you have been on the first pre-public examination series you have had to do. Keep this up.
Mr Simpson (22nd November 2021)
