NEWSLETTER Friday 10th January 2020
Dear Parents and Carers, A very Happy New Year and I hope you had a wonderful break. It has been lovely to welcome back our students this week and to see them full of energy and enthusiasm for their learning and the term ahead. Congratulations to Year 13 students who are focusing hard on their learning. This approach has certainly paid off and our Year 13 students are starting 2020 with exciting university offers across a broad range of subjects including medicine and biomedicine, engineering, computer science, music technology and economics. We have a strong programme of support for UCAS applications here and it is great to hear of these successes. Today, we have held our mock exam results day for Year 11 students. They received their recent mock results in envelopes just as they will do in August. Students now have a clear picture of where to prioritise their next set of efforts and need to keep the revision up. We also now expect all Year 11s to have 100% attendance. Last year, Year 11 students with 95+% attendance achieved, on average, the best results in the year by a considerable amount so attendance can be clearly seen to be central to success. We are all here to support your children if their results are a little way off what they are aiming for; hard work and determination over the coming months will still be able to make a huge difference moving forwards. My parent surgeries continue this term on Tuesday afternoons. Please either email dharrison@cowesec.org or phone the school on 01983 203103 asking for Donna Harrison to book a pre-booked slot. With best wishes, Rachel Kitley
