Welcome to Year 11
Year 11 is a most important year as pupils will take their GCSE examinations. The Year 11 team will support and nurture the pupils to ensure that they achieve the highest standards possible. Attendance is a key theme and it is essential that all Year 11 pupils understand the importance of attendance and how absences can affect overall GCSE grades.

Our pastoral theme this year is ‘Diamonds’. We believe that every Year 11 pupil is precious and unique and when put under pressure will sparkle and shine! We encourage excellent standards of academic achievement, behaviour, attendance and punctuality, which are rewarded regularly during assemblies on a half termly and termly basis.
