Year 10 Parent Information
Welcome to Year 10
As our students step into Key Stage 4 at Woolmer Hill, they begin an important and exciting phase of their education, embarking on their GCSE courses and preparing for the challenges of examinations. This stage brings new responsibilities, but also great opportunities for growth and achievement.
We know there will be moments of challenge, but we are here to support our students every step of the way, encouraging them to be curious, resilient learners who are kind and supportive of one another. Our core message to all Year 10 students is simple: strive to be the very best version of yourself. We believe that by being ‘Proud to Belong’ to our year group, every student can thrive.
The skills and experiences gained in Key Stage 3 have laid a strong foundation for the independence needed in Year 10. With opportunities for leadership and a chance to take part in work experience later in the academic year, this is a time to step up, explore new paths, and build confidence.
Strong partnerships between the school and parents are absolutely essential and we plan to work together to gain the best outcomes for all our students. If there is anything that we can help with, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
We are really looking forward to all that we will accomplish together in Year 10!
Mrs K Poeti
Head of Year 10
