Results for the GCSE English/English Language exam from Janurary are due out on Thur 8th Mar. Exact details have yet to be confirmed but I would imagine it will be done during tutor time. If you can get your tutor group covered, it would be great to have a departmental presence down there - hopefully seeing lots of happy, excited faces...!

4. Congratulations to Liz!

On Friday, Liz accepted the post of Assistant Head at Larkmead School. A sad day for us, who lose a very valued and trusted colleague, great news for Larkmead. Some suitably celebratory things will be happening in the coming days to celebrate/mourn this occassion. Watch this space.

Have a great week.
