Regents Review - Summer 2026

The Regents Review Summer 2026

GENERAL NEWS

Year 10 As we reach the end of another successful school year, I would like to congratulate all of Year 10 on the maturity and commitment they have shown throughout their first year of GCSEs. Transitioning into GCSE courses is a significant step and it has been fantastic to see students settle so well into their chosen subjects and rise to the challenges that come with them. The recent mock examinations have provided an invaluable experience for our students, giving them a clear insight into what to expect next year and helping them understand the standards and expectations of the examination process. We have been pleased with the way students approached these assessments and hope they have taken away important lessons that will support them in their final GCSE year. As we move forward, our expectations for examinations remain clear: long hair tied up, silence from the double doors onwards, nothing on wrists or in pockets and, most importantly, bringing a positive attitude and determination to succeed. These simple expectations help create the best possible environment for everyone to perform at their best. Next year will be an exciting and important one, as

we begin to focus more closely on students’ next steps beyond school. Whether that involves further education, apprenticeships, training, or future career aspirations, we look forward to supporting every student as they start making these important decisions. I would also like to thank the many students who consistently uphold our school ethos of Respect, Pride, Creativity and Challenge . Their positive attitudes, politeness and willingness to contribute to our school community make a real difference every day and set an excellent example for others. Finally, a huge thank you to all the students who applied for our Head Ambassador roles. I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the applications and by the talent, dedication and commitment shown by so many of our students. The future of our school is certainly in safe hands. I am incredibly excited to work closely with our Head Ambassadors, Senior Ambassadors and the wider Ambassador Team next year and I look forward to seeing all that they will achieve. I wish all of Year 10 and their families a wonderful summer break and I look forward to welcoming everyone back for a successful and rewarding year.

Year 11 As the Year 11s final academic year comes to an end, I want to take this opportunity to say what an absolute privilege it has been to be Head of Year for such an exceptional group of young people. Over the past three years, I have had the pleasure of watching our Year 11 students grow

into mature, determined and compassionate individuals. They have faced challenges with resilience, celebrated successes with humility and supported one another along the way. Seeing the confidence they have developed and the people they have become has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

Whether through their dedication in the classroom, their achievements in sport, music, drama and the arts, or the positive contribution they have made to the wider school community, they have represented our school with pride and integrity. They have been outstanding role models for younger students and have left a legacy they should be incredibly proud of.

Throughout their time at school, Year 11 has made a
