Welcome Back

It's a new term and it's been a hectic few weeks. First there was the furore of the Year 11 Mocks and all the marking that followed, Year 11 ISA tests and then the Xmas break. Hope you all had a good rest. For Year 11 in particular now is the time to start putting in those much needed revision hours. The mocks weren't done well on the whole and mostly because factual recall was poor. Sorry guys but there is no substitute for revision - very few people can remember so much information having only done it once. On a positive note, the ISAs generall y went well with most people picking up some extra much needed marks.
Congrats to my Year 10 groups. Both did exceptionally well in their Novemeber module tests and can all be proud of their achievements. One or two people may want to think about a module retake in March, but there aren't many of these.
For Year 11 students there will be lunchtime revision surgerys running on Tuesday for Chemistry and Thursday for Physics from now on onwards. Do a little work then come along with your problems to solve.

Hapy New Year All and may you all have a happy and successful 2009.
