Year 10

Head of Year: Mrs. Shannon

Assistant Head of Year: Ms. Barratt

Year 10 marks a significant and exciting milestone in your child’s educational journey, as they begin their GCSE and BTEC courses and take their first formal steps into Key Stage 4. It’s a year full of opportunity, challenge, and personal growth—and we are delighted with the exceptionally positive start our Year 10 students have made. They have already begun to build strong, respectful relationships with both teachers and peers, and are demonstrating a mature and focused attitude towards their studies.

This year is all about laying the groundwork for future success. The subjects and skills students develop in Year 10 will form the foundation of their qualifications and future aspirations. With this in mind, we place great importance on supporting students not only academically, but also emotionally and socially.

The Year 10 Team is dedicated to ensuring every student feels confident, motivated, and well-supported as they progress through this crucial stage. We are committed to a holistic approach—recognising that a young person’s well-being is intrinsically linked to their ability to achieve their full potential. Our experienced and caring team works closely with each individual, offering tailored support, encouragement, and guidance to help them thrive. We look forward to working in close partnership with you throughout the year to help your child grow in confidence, achieve their goals, and make the most of everything Year 10 has to offer. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the Year 10 Pastoral Team—we are always here to help.
