Please find below, details of all the intervention sessions that will be running over the Easter break in preparation for this year’s GCSE examinations. Attendance at these sessions is strongly encouraged, as they are designed to support students in maximising their performance.
As we move further into this important stage of Year 10, I am writing to highlight the importance of excellent attendance and punctuality. The work students are covering in lessons now forms the foundation of their GCSE courses. This learning will be directly assessed not only in the Year 10 end‑of‑year exams, but also in their final GCSE examinations in the summer of 2027. It is therefore vital that students do not miss any valuable learning time.
As we approach the GCSE exam season, I am writing to emphasise the importance of attendance over the coming weeks. There are now only 23 school days remaining before the first exam, and every single day will make a meaningful difference to your child’s preparation, progress, and confidence.
As we come to the end of the Spring Term and the final lead up to GCSE examinations, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication the students have shown throughout their time in Year 11.
As part of our ongoing careers programme, we are planning a trip for all Year 10 students to visit Salford City College to begin researching possible options at college. The date for the event is Wednesday 1st July 2026.
Is your child curious, creative, and looking to try something new outside of school? We’d love to invite you to take part in the National Saturday Club – a free programme designed for young people aged 13–16 who want to explore their interests and build new skills.
Following the half‑term break, our Year 10 students will transition into Maths groups for their daily R Time sessions. This is something we implement each year to ensure students receive targeted support during this important stage of their GCSE journey. Grouping students by Maths ability allows us to support tailored interventions that will strengthen their knowledge and confidence in the subject and at the level they are working at.
We are writing to let you know that Salford City Council is planning a consultation about proposed changes to Post 16 SEND Home to School Transport. We want to make sure you are aware of what this means and how you can share your views.
The consultation will run for 30 days, from: 05 February 2026 to 07 March 2026.
