The Regents Review Spring 2026

GENERAL NEWS

Year 11 As we move further into the spring term, I would like to take a moment to recognise and celebrate the continued hard work, dedication and resilience shown by our Year 11 students. This is an especially important time in the academic year, as we approach the final months leading up to the GCSE examinations. The coming weeks will be a crucial period for students to consolidate their learning, build confidence in their subjects and prepare themselves for the challenges ahead. Please be assured that the school remains fully committed to supporting every student throughout this journey, both academically and pastorally. I am extremely proud of the effort that Year 11 students demonstrated during their most recent round of mock examinations. All students approached these assessments with maturity and determination and it has been encouraging to see the positive attitude that the year group has shown towards their studies. Although results are still being released, the early indications suggest that a significant number of students have made progress since the November mock exams. This

improvement reflects the commitment students have shown in lessons, during revision sessions and through their independent study at home. It is fantastic to see such progress as we move closer to the final examinations. At this stage in the year, it is completely normal for students to experience a mixture of excitement, motivation and, at times, pressure as they prepare for their GCSEs. I would like to reassure parents and carers that support is always available. If your child is finding the final months at RPCC challenging, whether academically or emotionally, we strongly encourage you to let the school know. By working together, we can ensure that students receive the appropriate guidance, encouragement and support to help them navigate this important period successfully. I would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Miss Moore and all of the Year 11 tutors for their continued support and dedication to the cohort. Their guidance, encouragement and consistent care play an essential role in helping students stay focused, motivated and confident during this important stage of

their education. The time and effort they invest in supporting students both academically and personally is greatly appreciated and makes a significant difference to the Year 11 experience. Alongside their academic efforts, many Year 11 students have also continued to contribute positively to the wider school community. In particular, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to our Head Ambassadors, Kinti and Diana, as well as the rest of the Year 11 student leadership team. Their commitment, leadership and enthusiasm throughout the year have made a meaningful and lasting impact on the RPCC community. They have represented the year group with pride and have helped to create a positive and supportive environment for their peers. The months ahead will undoubtedly be busy, but they will also be a time of celebration, reflection and achievement for our Year 11 students. We are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished so far and look forward to supporting them through the final stages of their secondary school journey. Mr McIntyre Head of Year 11
