School Calendar for October
- Foundations and those not registered for external exams will continue with the timetable as normal.
- Those who are writing external exams are to book as many extra lessons as possible during this time.
- Doing Past Papers and not handing them in for marking is a waste of time.
- Those writing external exams do not need permission to leave early.
- We expect to see students on the days they aren’t writing external exams.
- There has been direct correlation between those who reach their full potential because they handed in Past Papers and attended school during the exams, and those we don’t see after September and don’t fare as well.
