We are now entering a critical time in the run up to the final examinations in May/June, as students make the final push towards getting the excellent grades they are capable of. Students are strongly recommended to make the best of the Easter break using the time effectively to revise and reflect on where they didn't do quite as well as they could have done in their Mock Examinations in February, making the necessary improvements in both knowledge and exam technique.

We are here to support and all departments across Sixth Form are offering interventions. These take various forms – for example, afternoon and Saturday revision sessions. Students should speak to their subject teacher in order to know exactly when these sessions are being offered – it is the student’s responsibility to find out what is being offered and when. Heads of Department have also developed individual intervention plans and will be in touch with the relevant students. Please support your child/guard in the final push towards achieving the best grades possible. 

As usual, please do not hesitate to contact the Sixth Form Office if you have further questions.

Gentle Rains

There will come gentle rains, with a whisper in the air, 

Bringing with them peace to fix and repair.

We will stop for a moment and listen to the sound

Of raindrops that gentle pitter patter on the ground.

No one will hurry; we will not rush. 

Birds will sing along in this needed hush. 

Spring, herself, will rise from the ground, 

Waking up the sun who ought to be found. 

Yet, there will soon be no human voice, 

Nature will strive on without us, without a choice.

So, let's never forget the beauty of the rains,

That came to protect our world and remove all pains.
