Extra revision homework


To compensate for revision lessons missed last week Year 10 students have been given an extra revision homework sheet to do. This must be done by Thursday for core Science and by Monday for Chemistry.

Year 11 will be given a pack of revision homework sheets today which also needs to be started by this weekend and will help them prepare for their module exams.

If any student has not received these homework sheets they should see Mr West immediately.
