Year 10 Partnership Evening

A reminder that our Year 10 Partnership Evening is taking place on Wednesday 20th November. This event is all about building aspirations for the future and helping your child prepare for success in their upcoming GCSE examinations.

The evening will begin with a presentation in Lees Hall at 6pm, followed by some drop-in sessions which will provide you with a range of information of subjects including Maths, English, and Science. There will also be an opportunity to discuss humanities subjects with representatives from Geography, History and RE departments on a drop-in basis.

We look forward to seeing you there.
