YEAR 11 NEWS

By Mr Hopkins, Ms Wells & Miss Devine

We have made it to the end!!!

Firstly, I must start with a huge well done for reaching the end of the exams season. A time which you will remember for the rest of your lives and hopefully one fuelled with warmth and positivity for the incredible efforts which you put into the exam period.

Last term you guys came together as one tight knit group and pulled each other through the challenges and hurdles associated with exam season. We were so impressed with your resilience, your determination, your work ethic and your ability to maintain a smile and positive attitude despite the immense pressure you were under.

I must also use this time to recognise the huge team behind making the Summer term a huge success. The Tutor Team, Ms Wells and Miss Devine, Mr Davies and Mr Hilton. The Exams Team and invigilators and of course your subject teachers, who prepared you so well for the big day. The Admin Team also did such a great job in preparing the Summer revision timetables which helped shape the work we were doing in school.

To our parents and carers who helped to get you through the door despite illness, fatigue and so much more we also say, thank you, to you.

Whilst the end of the year brings around many celebrations, it is also important to reflect on this being a farewell and goodbye for some students at Cherwell. I know I speak on behalf of the whole school in saying we wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavours. Please come and see us again and tell us about the next chapter of your new journey.

The celebration assemblies and evening were wonderful events. Clement did a sterling job in hosting the assembly and I know the students were so grateful for the brilliant show he put on. I will never forget the phrase ‘hand clap’ for the rest of my days.

The celebration evening was again a night which I will never forget. To see you all dressed up so beautifully and having a brilliant time with each other is a very special moment for all staff involved. We were all blown away by the kind messages on the night as well as the thank you cards, emails and calls which are still coming in today. The prom committee must also get a special mention for raising a huge pot of money to use towards a magician (who was incredible), the pic n mix stand, photo booth, decorations and our resident DJ Platinum who really did get the party started.

We are so proud of you all and we do genuinely wish you all the very best for the future.
