Year 11 - 2009-10

This is the year during which Year 11 students build towards their futures after Grey Court. Therefore careful consideration needs to be given to what students plan to do when they leave school, what they need in order to achieve their plans and to consider carefully how they are going to be successful. It is a year that flies by with little time to catch up on missed opportunities.

This is a crucial and busy year and commitment and organisation are essential components to success. Students will find that the path to their future plans will be smoother if they meet the following expectations:

1. To attend school regularly, on time and in school uniform.
2. To keep up with homework and coursework deadlines, and to honour GCSE commitments.
3. To bring the correct equipment and books required for learning to all lessons.
4. To use the planner correctly for organisation, deadlines and target setting.
5. To participate positively in lessons.
6. To involve themselves in the extra curricular experiences offered during the year.

Some important events in the Year 11 calendar this year include academic tutoring days, college talks and visits, careers interviews, and trial exams in December. One highlight of the year is the Year 11 Prom, which is held once the GCSE Exams are over.

I have every confidence that Year 11 students will rise to the challenge of doing their best and all staff at Grey Court look forward to working with Year 11 students and parents to ensure that this final year is a positive, successful and memorable one.
