Newsletter Friday, 17th May 2013 Dear Parent/Carer The exam season has now started in earnest and there continue to be daily revision sessions to support the exam preparation of our students. We will keep you up to date of revision sessions during the half term break via the newsletter. It was with pleasure that a letter was sent this week confirming that there will be a Year 11 Leavers assembly on Wednesday, 12th June 2013 at 11.15 am. The student’s leavers hoodies look great and it is lovely to see them being worn around the school with such pride. I promised to keep you up to date with the work on the refurbishment of the DT Rooms. You will see from the pictures that the old equipment has now been removed and structural work is now being completed. We are on target with the schedule of the work. This will be a fabulous learning environment for Product Design.
