Year 10 is a crucial year for every student as they are beginning new courses and approaching what is going to be a very important time in their school life. It is therefore vital that each student prepares correctly for success and the key to that is building a solid foundation in the first year of their courses. Hard work, good attitude and commitment are what are required to achieve this and I am sure that each student will have goals that they wish to achieve.
It is my role to ensure that every student gets the chances that they deserve and you can rest assured that I will be working as hard as possible to make this happen. Each student can help themselves achieve by being prepared for school and lessons. To do this they must:
- Bring their planners to EVERY lesson
- Take a pen, pencil, ruler and rubber to all lessons
- Be punctual to registration and ALL lessons
- Attend school as much as possible
- Dress in the appropriate uniform
I am a strong believer in rewarding positive behaviour and students, who do the above as a bare minimum, will be rewarded. One way will be from their tutor as ‘student of the week’ for their tutor group. This will bring several privileges along with it:
- Lunchtime queue jumper for that week
- Entry into half term draws for huge prizes.
- They will also receive a letter home to celebrate this achievement.
I am really looking forward to working with you and your son/daughter for the remainder of their time in school. Should you have any concerns then do not hesitate to contact me:
Mr B Houghton Head of Year 10
