Having recently completed SLC’s, Ennis Hill have shared their academic pledges with each other. Every week they will help each other to achieve these pledges and make progress ahead of their Summer Mock exams.
Crew Bronte completed their Student Led Conferences a few weeks ago which included students reflecting on their mock examination results and considering academic pledges for the upcoming examinations in June. Check out Alzbeta’s reflections below on how she is currently performing in her History GCSE.
Ally’s pledge to ask for more ‘feedback’ and her determination to ‘test’ herself and ‘revise more regularly’ shows that she is really ‘getting smart’. In the next few weeks in academic crew sessions we are going to look at revision resources and techniques so that we are fully prepared for the challenges ahead!
X21 have been working extremely hard in class and at home to prepare for their final exam. Though there are still a few weeks to go, just to let parents and carers know the dates for this final exam will be Monday 29th April – Wednesday 1st May. A timetable has been shared with students, so they already know their day and time. As discussed in class, students should be taking some time over the Easter break to revise ready for this.
Just a reminder about support sessions every Monday night for this, and that there will be an extra session on Wednesday 24th April after school as well; this will be their last chance to practise before the exams start. Good luck X21!
Good evening
We understand an automated text has been sent from DRFCNCS with the original date for the NCS info evening (5th March).
Just to confirm the correct date is 25th March from 6.00pm at XP East (doors open 5.45pm).
Thanks
During May, X25-22 have a two-week break. As you know during this time there are examinations happening for Year 11 students.
All X21 students will need to attend school as usual for the whole of the week commencing Monday 20th May as there are examinations throughout this week.
In the following week, we are conscious that students will need a break and some time to do revision outside of school.
All X21 students will also be in school on Friday 31st May from 9.15am for exam preparation sessions.
It is not our intention to ask the whole cohort of X21 students into school in the rest of the week commencing 27th May. However there may be individual students for whom we put together bespoke support sessions in this week. Of course we will be mindful of the need for students to rest, and will contact families in good time if we identify a need following further assessments in the coming weeks.
Thanks as always for your continued support

X21 Working Hard in Spanish
X21 working on Theme 1 in preparation for their speaking exam in the last week of April. Students worked as Crew to critique, and shared ideas about how to learn, ready for the exam.
Hi,
All X21 students are required to attend Science GCSE intervention every Tuesday from 3.30-4.30.
Students will be have personalised targets and areas of study based on the mocks and work in small groups with the support of a teacher.
On the whole we are pleased with the mock results in science but are well aware that we have loads of work still to do to support all students reach their potential. Your support last term was vital to this. Thank you and we ask again that you support us with these interventions.
If you have any questions about the mocks, GCSEs or interventions please contact me.
Best wishes,
Robbie Campbell
