Year 11 Parent Information

Welcome to Year 11

All the hard work from the last 4 years, all the concentration, the commitment, the sacrifice and the learning … now it’s time to keep going and make it all count. It’s time for our students to shine!

We believe that success comes by working in an equal partnership with students and parents through mutually supportive relationships, ensuring each and every student understands how to achieve success and how to take responsibility for developing their skills and knowledge.

We hope you find the information below useful and informative so that you can keep your child on track and make sure they are motivated and supported to do their best during their final year and throughout the exam period.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if there is anything else we can do to help make sure your child makes the most of their time over this, their final year at Woolmer Hill School. 

Mrs K Poeti

Head of Year 11
