25th May 2012 Dear Parents It is likely you received a letter from me earlier this week regarding the arrangements for Year 11 pupils commencing study leave. We have been contacted by some parents who were concerned that their children had very few exams in the second half of next week. In light of this we have reviewed the usefulness of the lessons that are planned for the second half of this week. We have decided to make Wednesday 30th May the final day that all Year 11 pupils must be in school. The timetable for Wednesday 30th May will be that all pupils undertake Mathematics Lessons during lessons 1 and 2. During lessons 3 and 4 they will have their final assembly followed by the buffet lunch described in the previous letter. On Thursday 31st May and Friday 1st June we will undertake a revised timetable to cover those subjects whose exams have not yet taken place. Pupils will only need to attend the lessons of these subjects listed below. Thursday 31st May Lesson 1 Systems and Control or Resistant Materials Lesson 2 German Lesson 3 Triple Science - Biology Lesson 4 History Lesson 5 Geography or History Friday 1st June Lesson 1 Mathematics – Additional Maths (Mrs Jones’ Group) and Dual Entry Maths (Mrs Marriott’s Group) Lesson 2 & 3 Triple Science – Chemistry followed by Physics Pupils need only attend school for these specific lessons. Pupils who wish to remain in school or to come into school to revise will be provided with a study room in which to do so. Once pupils have completed the lesson for a particular subject they are free to return home. Please note pupils should wear school uniform when in school. I apologise for any confusion caused by this second letter, but having considered the situation we recognise that next week may have reduced meaning for those pupils who have a only a few exams remaining. If you have any questions regarding this letter please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely David K Charlton Headteacher ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… STUDY LEAVE Name of Pupil ………………………………………………………… Form …………… I have received the information about the arrangements during the examination period and agree to my son/daughter beginning study leave on Wednesday 30th May 2012.
