This has been a busy term for Year 11 pupils, from mock exams to projects and trips to support their coursework, improve techniques and boost understanding of core texts for their end of year exams. Early in January Design and Technology pupils took part in ‘Make Days’, a day off timetable to focus on developing prototypes in support of their GCSE portfolios. PE students who needed extra credits in an additional sport got the chance to learn a new skill by scaling up the walls at White Spider Climbing Centre. GCSE Art students went on an inspiring trip to Tate Britain where over 500 years of British art is represented, helping them to come up with ideas for their exam theme entitled ‘Found’. Our Year 11 physicists on the other hand, tried their best in the Intermedia Physics Challenge which challenges problem solving skills. Exams have already begun. Food Tech and Drama practical exams took place in March and we have been wowed this week by our Design and Technology students who have shared their work in a very impressive exhibition. We wish them all the best in their preparations ahead of the Summer term and hope they get some rest in amongst all the revision over the Easter break!
