Regents Review - Summer 2026

The Regents Review Summer 2026

GENERAL NEWS

Teaching & Learning As another busy and successful year comes to a close, it is a great opportunity to celebrate the fantastic learning habits, perseverance and achievements of our students. One of the standout highlights this year has been the incredible commitment shown by our Year 11 students. Whether attending revision sessions before school, after school or during holidays, they have embraced every opportunity to prepare for their GCSE examinations. Classrooms and the library have been full of students determined to squeeze every last mark from their exams. Their positive attitude, resilience and hard work have been a real credit to themselves and their families. Across the school, we have also seen a noticeable increase in independent learning. Students are becoming more confident in taking responsibility for their own progress, regularly revisiting previous learning, completing additional practice and asking thoughtful questions to deepen their understanding. It has been wonderful to see so many students developing the study habits that will support them not only in school, but in their future education and careers. “ All of my teachers are focused on my progress, so I know I can go and get help whenever I need it. ” - Year 11 student This comment perfectly captures the supportive learning environment we strive to create at Regents Park, where students know that staff are invested in their success and always willing to help them achieve their very best. Home learning has been another success story this year. More students than ever have engaged positively with homework and independent tasks, recognising that learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends. The support of parents and carers has played an important part in helping students establish routines and maintain high expectations and we are extremely grateful for this partnership.

We are especially proud of our Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) students, who successfully completed their projects this year. From researching fascinating topics to drafting their report findings with confidence, these students demonstrated impressive curiosity, independence and determination. Completing an extended project alongside their other studies is no small achievement and they should be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished. Looking ahead, our Year 10 students have already shown that they are ready to rise to the challenge. This year’s internal examinations were approached with maturity and determination, with many students making an excellent start to their GCSE preparation. There has been a real sense of purpose around the year group, as they begin to recognise that they are now the next cohort heading towards their final examinations. “ Year 10 have made a great start to their exams and are preparing well for the move into Year 11. They are beginning to realise that the next set of GCSEs at RPCC are theirs, and they have responded with maturity and a real determination to succeed. ” - Year 10 tutor What has been most pleasing this year, is seeing students grow in confidence as learners. Whether mastering a difficult concept, improving their revision techniques, completing an extended project or simply finding the courage to tackle a new challenge, our students have shown that success comes through consistent effort, a positive mindset and a willingness to keep learning. As we head into the summer break, we would like to thank our students for their hard work, our staff for their dedication and expertise, and our families for their continued support. Together, we have created a culture where achievement is celebrated, progress is valued and every student is encouraged to be the very best version of themselves. Have a wonderful summer and, as always, keep learning, keep reading and keep aiming high!
