Year 10
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing the best you can today.”
I am extremely pleased to continue our journey into Year 10 as your Achievement Team Leader.
In Year 10, our students are about to take their first steps towards their GCSEs, building vital foundations for success at Key Stage 4; it is therefore going to be a vital year for our students.
We expect you to continue to demonstrate a commendable work ethic and high standards of behaviour for learning, which will help yourselves and others on your pathway to achieving the best possible results in your GCSEs.
The Year 10 team aims to inspire and will work tirelessly to support students’ learning within and beyond the classroom to ensure that all students reach their full potential. I, as your Achievement Team Leader, will encourage high aspirations through overseeing student progress and attainment throughout the year. Miss Ahmed will represent the Year Care Team from a pastoral perspective assisting with the care, behaviour and wellbeing of all Year 10 students. Tutors will monitor how students use their diaries and study time, advising them on areas concerning personal organisation and academic progress.
As pupils start their own individual learning pathways it is important to remember that most of the courses, they will be studying have a linear structure, meaning they will not be assessed for their final GCSE grades until the end of Year 11, however you will have assessments throughout the two years in every subject. With this in mind it is crucial that students are focused, organised from the start and attend school every day.
At The Warren School, we expect students to work hard in lessons, but to also widen their life experiences by positively contributing towards all aspects of the school and their community. A diversity of cultures and British themes will be embraced throughout the year with the use of enrichment trips, our PSCHE programme and assembly themes. This too incorporates our desire to prepare students for life beyond The Warren School and their futures in higher education which can only be achieved if we continue to build on developing the admirable qualities so many of our students have.
As our school motto states we expect pupils to, ‘be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing’ and pupils need to maintain this focus in order to achieve their potential. Therefore, it is imperative that the school and parent relationship is strong and collaborative. If we are working together, we will be able to give our young people, the best opportunity to be successful in the future.
Parents are encouraged to look at the school website to stay in touch with schemes of work and homework for each subject. This year group have demonstrated a mature attitude towards their studies during Year 9 and with continuous hard work and dedication we are confident that they can progress within their studies moving into Year 10, the start of their GCSE’s.
They are an enthusiastic group of young people who have made a fantastic impression on whoever they come into contact with, and we expect these pupils to make the school, their families and the local community proud. Please feel free to contact me at school to discuss your child’s progress and I look forward to celebrating their future success.
