School closures during the GCSE season 2024
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you will already be aware from the last review meeting, there are occasions during the GCSE season when we need to close the school for year 9/10 students at the Dukes Centre.
When an exam involves all year 11s, every room in the school is required, and every member of staff is needed to invigilate. I am writing to give you advance notice of the dates of these closures.
On these days, students will be set work by their individual subject teachers. Year 9/10 end of year assessments will be taking place during the week commencing 24th June and therefore some students may wish to use the closures to revise for these assessments.
Off-site learning ( Sport at Imber Court, Construction, Discover, Anstee Bridge) will continue on these days unless we inform you otherwise.
The dates of the closures are:
- Wednesday 8th May School closed for the afternoon Students will leave at 12.15
- Friday 10th May School closed for the morning. Students should arrive at 11.30
- Thursday 16th May School closed for the morning Students should arrive between 12.15 and 12.45
- Monday 3rd June School closed for the morning Students should arrive between 12.15 and 12.45
- Friday 7th June School closed for the afternoon Students will leave at 12.15
- Monday 10th June School closed for the morning Students should arrive between 12.15 and 12.45
