YEAR 10 NEWS

By Miss Bristow, Mrs Kidd and Mrs Fox

We are at the end of Year 10. The past term has felt particularly busy and students have achieved real success in lessons and outside of lessons.

Citizenship GCSE

Since Easter, students have completed their first GCSE after sitting their Citizenship Exam. They conducted themselves in a mature and responsible manner. It was clear how motivated and enthusiastic they were to do well and achieve the best of their ability as they all sat and tested each other with their revision cards.

Mock Interviews

Further into the term the students took in their Mock Interviews. Employers from all over the county were blown away by their attitude and engagement in their learning, employers said:“He was fully aware of his strengths and weaknesses” and “They did well with their answers and improved throughout the interview. ties and blazers in hand. They spoke with confidence and eloquence and presented themselves wonderfully. Well done Year 10, you have made us all very proud.

Mock Exams

The year group have continued with momentum and they have ended the term by practising exam skills and techniques in their end of year exams. Their ability to be organised with their equipment, seating plans and revision improved as the week went on. I think the practice and exposure to exams has given them the time to reflect on their revision techniques and how confident they felt coming out of their exams. It is important to learn the ability to organise all you need, to be successful in the exam and to practise efficient time management in order to provide the opportunity to answer every question.

Well done to all of Year 10. We hope you have a well deserved rest over the Summer so that you can return ready for your final year as Year 11s!

Have a wonderful Summer, be good, be safe and be careful.
