Regents Review - Spring Edition 2025

The Regents Review Spring 2025

GENERAL NEWS

Year 9 As we move further into the academic year, it has been fantastic to see how Year 9 students have matured and embraced the challenges ahead. Since returning from maternity leave at Christmas, I have been impressed by their growing sense of responsibility and readiness for the important decisions they will soon make regarding their options. We are now at a crucial stage, where students will be finalising their subject choices for next year. These decisions will shape their future learning journey and we will be working closely with them,

to ensure they feel confident in their choices. Support and guidance will be readily available to help them make informed decisions. Whilst we celebrate the progress of Year 9, there are areas where we need a renewed focus. Uniform standards have slipped, and we ask for everyone’s support in ensuring students adhere to the school’s dress code. Additionally, punctuality is an area that requires improvement, both in terms of arriving at school on time and getting to lessons promptly.

I would like to extend my thanks to parents for their ongoing support in these areas. Your involvement is invaluable in helping students maintain high standards and develop good habits that will serve them well in the future. I look forward to seeing Year 9 continue to grow and take the next exciting steps in their school journey. Let’s keep up the great work and make the rest of the

year a success. Mrs Mouland Head of Year 9

a valued member of RPCC. I am really looking forward to Year 10 students ‘stepping up’ and applying for the Student Leadership Team in the summer term, where they can have a greater influence in shaping the school. A special thank you goes to our dedicated tutors and staff, who continue to support and guide Year 10, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges ahead. Their encouragement and commitment make a real difference in helping students grow both academically and personally. As we head into the break, I encourage all students to take the time to rest and recharge, while also reflecting on their goals for the final stretch of the year. With only one full academic year left, it’s important to maintain focus and make the most of the opportunities ahead. Well done Year 10, your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Wishing you all a restful and productive break!

As we come to the end of another busy term, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible progress Year 10 has made. This term has been filled with hard work, new challenges and fantastic achievements, all of which, have set a strong foundation for the year ahead. Academically, students have continued to develop their knowledge and skills across all subjects, showing great resilience and determination. Many have excelled in assessments, demonstrating their growing confidence, as they move closer to their final GCSE year. It has been especially rewarding to see students engaging with their learning, seeking support where needed, and pushing themselves to achieve their best. Beyond the classroom, Year 10 has truly stepped up as role models within the school. Whether supporting younger students, getting involved in extracurricular activities, or working towards their ethos badges, they have shown what it means to be
