Year 11 Parent Information

Your child is now commencing their final steps along their journey here at Woolmer Hill School. Students will soon begin to make decisions that will shape their future, whether it be further education, training or an apprenticeship. These next few months are crucial and will provide opportunities to sit final examinations in all subjects and hopefully gain the qualifications that will support their ambitions and fulfil their aspirations. The importance of Year 11 cannot be underestimated and I hope the Year 11 Information Evening and accompanying material will support you and your child to focus on how to achieve their best outcomes next summer. Hard work, perseverance and a positive mindset is a recipe for success, not just for GCSEs but also in later adult life.

Please find useful information below, this will be updated throughout the year, so please do remember to check back here regularly.

Save the date: Friday 26th January 2024 Information on how to book will be published nearer the time. It feels timely to add that if you would like to get involved in the Friends of Woolmer Hill, who do amazing work fundraising for our school by putting on great events such as these, new members are always welcome! Please contact Mr Clayton at school who can put you in touch with one of the committee members. #friendsofwoolmerhill #PTA #Fundraising #invaluablesupport #getinvolved #jointheteam

26/09/2023For Year 11, it's time to start to focusing on the future. Not just revision, booster sessions and mocks but time to start thinking about a pathway for next September. Is college for you? Or would you prefer an apprenticeship? A level choices or BTEC courses? There are lots of avenues to explore and you should give yourself plenty of time to do that and to come to the right decision for you. We are here to help; Mr Watkins, as Head of Year, your tutors, Mrs Borg, as Head of Careers, as well as our Careers partner Innervate; who will be seeing all students on a 1:1 basis over the coming weeks and months. Many of the colleges have upcoming Open Days and a few of the key local ones are listed below in photos and links. https://www.godalming.ac.uk/open-evening.html Further dates are available on our Year 11 Parent Information webpage. http://www.woolmerhill.surrey.sch.uk/1155/year-11-parent-information Remember it might take more than one visit to make your mind up and you shouldn't delay in making those all important applications.
