Your Year 10 PPE’s were supposed to start this week, commencing on Monday 15th June 2020. Due to the current situation, we are expecting that you will complete your PPEs at home. It is crucial that you engage with this process and complete all of the papers so that;

  • We have accurate data and therefore evidence that you are working at the grade that you deserve
  • We are all preparing as much as possible to cover all possibilities as next year’s situation is still very much unclear
  • We can ensure you are as committed as we are to your studies so we are all doing the very best we can do to ensure your grades are the best they possibly can be. This can only happen if you help us help you!

Due to this we have decided on the following actions;

  • Week commencing Monday 22nd June, you will receive a pack of PPE papers for each of the subjects you are currently studying. This will either be given to you if you are attending school or collected by yourselves/parents/carers at an arranged time or delivered to you.
  • You will then have until Monday 6th July to complete all papers, these need to be under exam conditions as much as possible. The time allocated is visible on the front of the paper.
  • The papers you receive are not completely as they would in the normal situation. Your teachers have developed them to be a bit shorter and to focus on the content you have covered this year. Most subjects have split the paper into three sections to include multiple choice, short and long answer questions.
  • Make sure you try your best, if you do not know an answer, do not worry/panic, move on to the next question and then return. Remember writing something is always better than nothing.
  • Once completed please return to school either by bringing them with you when you attend, arranging a drop off to school by yourself/parent/carer or contacting the school to arrange a pick up.
  • We will then get the papers marked and marks will be issued to you before we break up for the summer. If you do not complete or hand in a paper you will be awarded a ‘U’.
