As part of our ongoing Careers Programme in Year 11, we are inviting students to take part in a Mock Interview with a visitor from the world of work. The mock interview day will take place on Monday 29th January 2024. This is an INSET day for school, so students will be issued with an interview time so they can come into school, have their interview, and then go home. Students should expect to be in school for this event around 40-50 minutes maximum.

We very much hope you and your child will be able to attend our Year 9 Parents' Evening on Thursday 18^th January 2024, to discuss your child’s work and progress.

Information on some grouping changes that will be taking place in Science from 3rd January when the students return to school after the Christmas break.

It has been really pleasing to see over the past term, the increasing numbers of our Year 11 students who are now accessing the extensive intervention sessions that are available to them. As you are aware, we have breakfast workshops, after school revision classes and Saturday School. Alongside this, all students take part in extra English and maths retrieval and exam practice sessions during R time.

The mock exams will be taking place after the Christmas break, running from Wednesday 10th January until Friday 26th January. All students have been given the mock exam timetable and a copy of this is also available on the school website. 

We would like invite you to a Year 11 GCSE PE parent information evening to discuss the process of gathering video evidence for the practical element of the course. The evening will take place on Tuesday 5^th December 2023 at Moorside High School 5:00-5:30pm. During the evening, we will share information regarding the exam board requirements for how to present video footage, and how best to capture your child’s performance in their sports.
