Regents Review - Summer 2026

The Regents Review Summer 2026

GENERAL NEWS

Year 8 As we come to the end of Year 8, it is a great opportunity to reflect on everything our students have achieved over the past year. It has been a year of growth, resilience and increasing independence, with students continuing to develop both academically and personally. Throughout the year, Year 8 students have embraced new challenges, built stronger friendships and demonstrated greater maturity in the way they approach their learning and school life. They have learned from successes, overcome setbacks and shown an increasing willingness to take responsibility for their choices and actions. It has been wonderful to see their confidence flourish, as they have become positive role models within our school community. Whether representing the school in sporting events, participating in enrichment activities or striving for excellence in the classroom, our students have consistently shown determination, kindness and ambition. Their commitment to our school values has been evident in the way they support one another and contribute positively to school life.

As they prepare to move into Year 9, students are entering an exciting stage of their education. Year 9 marks the beginning of important decisions as they explore and select their GCSE option subjects. This is an opportunity for each student to consider their strengths, interests and aspirations, helping them shape a pathway that reflects their ambitions for the future. We are incredibly proud of how much our Year 8 students have matured this year and have every confidence that they are ready to embrace the opportunities and responsibilities that Year 9 will bring. We encourage them to continue working hard, remaining curious and making the most of every opportunity as they begin this exciting next chapter. Well done, Year 8 - you should all be incredibly proud of how far you have come. We wish you a restful summer break and look forward to welcoming you back as confident, motivated and ready Year 9 students. Mrs R Wales Head of Year 8

Year 9 As we approach the end of the academic year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly fantastic year for our Year 9 students. Having returned from maternity leave partway through the year, it has been such a pleasure to come back and see the year group thriving. The students have shown remarkable maturity, resilience and positivity and I have been incredibly proud of how they have conducted themselves

both in and out of lessons. Year 9 have embraced the challenges of this important transition year with enthusiasm. Whether through their hard work in lessons, their commitment to improving attendance and behaviour, or their willingness to get involved in wider school life, they have consistently demonstrated the values we are so proud of at Regents Park. I would also like to thank you, as parents and guardians, for your continued support. It makes a real difference and together

we have been able to help the students make excellent progress this year. As they move into Year 10, I have every confidence that they will continue to grow, take on new challenges and achieve great success, as they begin their GCSE courses. Thank you again for your support and I hope you all have a wonderful and restful summer. Mrs N Dahl Head of Year 9
