Year 13

The Yearbook Committee has been formed and consists of 4 students: Noah Harwood, Aarti Patel, Grace Payne and Ella McLay. They will be contacting you all shortly about how to join the Yearbook. If you do not wish to have any part in your Yearbook then that is absolutely fine. Please can inform one of the committee.

All Year 13 Students are required to attend tutor period on a Monday. Students can still request to see their tutor on Wed-Fri mornings if you need any advice or support. Please email your tutro in advance of this meeting.

Please continue with your UCAS applications and see Mrs Hawkins for an appointment or if you need further support regarding your Post 18 choices.

Purchasing Food and Refreshments – New Arrangements for Y13

From Monday 2 November Y13 students are able to purchase food and refreshments from the Chill. Payment will be via contactless card.

Due to the protective measures in place and the ‘bubble’ system, Y13 students are no longer able to purchase food from the 6th Form Café.

Cold snacks will be on display in the Chill and students are encouraged to ask about the hot food menu each day as these items are kept under the counter. There will be a similar selection to that available in the Sixth Form Café, including hot drinks, but items will vary from day to day.

Y13 may access the Chill at any time but it is likely to be quieter during free periods. Students should queue alongside the bag racks until the counter on the right-hand side is free. Students from Y9 and Y10 will be queuing to the left-hand side out through the fire exit to allow social distancing from Y13 students.

REMINDER – Y13 are permitted to sit and eat at the tables in the Chill during break-time and free periods only. Seating in the Gecko is only available during free periods.

Reminders:

1. If you have a planned absence then please email [email protected] 48 hours in advance, and where applicable, provide a screen shot, scan or any appointment card.

2. Year 13 students need to see Mrs Hawkins in person if they wish to make a Careers appointment regarding UCAS or Post 18 options. Please do not contact Mrs Hawkins by email.

If you have questions about anything then do email us, and we will try are best to help you.
