We are excited to offer the opportunity for pupils in year 10 to attend a live open-air performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth performed by the Duke’s Theatre Company in Rivington during the evening of Wednesday 18th June 2025. By attending the performance, pupils will gain a rare and valuable insight into the plot, character and stagecraft of one of their GCSE set texts.

I am writing to inform you about your child’s upcoming Spoken Language assessment which forms part of the GCSE English Language examination. This is intended to help your child present and communicate effectively, in preparation for student leadership duties, college interviews and more so, life beyond school.
Curriculum and Class Setting
Over the past two terms, students have engaged with a rich and varied English curriculum, studying Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Odyssey, and a selection of Identity Poetry. During this time, they have been taught in their form groups, allowing us to get to know them as learners and to assess their progress closely.
Following feedback from previous events, it was highlighted that it is often inconvenient for parents/carers to come into school early in the evening for events that sometimes can only last 40-45minutes. We have therefore decided to trial an electronic presentation for Year 10 Parents/Carers on how they can best support their child in the run up to the Year 10 End of Year Exams.
