Other forthcoming key dates include: Year 7 - ’Welcome to year 7' parents' evening on Wednesday 3 October 4.00 5.15pm Year 11 - Careers and Futures day in school Thursday 11 October Year 7 - Pendle Hill Visit w/b Monday 15 October Immediately following half term the Year 11 'Mock exams' take place and all pupils should be using their time wisely to plan, prepare and revise. These are a very important milestone in the Year 11 calendar and I would ask that you encourage and support your child to follow their individual revision plans they have prepared. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all our pupils who have made such a positive start to the academic year. Your support of the Rhyddings tracker has already made a positive difference in school and numerous positive points are being awarded to pupils. Yours sincerely,
Mr Andrew Williams Headteacher
