Work Experience
During Year 10, students participate in our work experience program, which provides valuable insight into the world of work and helps them develop key employability skills. This typically takes place during the summer term.
Assessment and Monitoring
Regular assessments take place throughout Year 10 to monitor progress and identify areas for support. Parents receive termly reports and are invited to attend parents' evenings to discuss their child's progress with subject teachers.
