YEAR 13 LEAVERS' CEREMONY - JUNE 2013

The leavers' ceremony was held last night as a tribute to the completion of KS5 studies and examinations for this remarkable group of Year 13 students. 

The Performance Hall was packed with the students, their families and staff who were surrounded by balloons and candles that made the area magical. The students looked stunning in their evening wear ; they have become poised and confident young adults who are an asset to this school and to Post 16 studies. It has been a privilege to support them over the past 2 years.

The evening was a formal celebration of their time at The Cooper School and was a very moving evening of speeches and awards.  The school is rightly proud of this group of students who were the first ever KS5 students and who have paved the way for others to follow. They are an inspiration to others and have set a very high standard.

They will be greatly missed by all of us but we wish them all health, happiness and success in their future ambitions. 

RETURN OF YEAR 12 - Monday 10th June 2013

Year 12 Induction into Year 13

Monday 10th June - Friday 5th July 2013

The current Year 12 students have now completed their AS examinations and there was a visible sense of relief yesterday when the last exam finished. Year 12 students have approached their exams with motivation and I wish them all luck with the forthcoming results.

Year 12 will return to Post 16 studies on Monday 10th June at 8.40 am to commence 4 weeks induction into Year 13. These 4 weeks will be an essential time to prepare for the challenges of Year 13 study and students will be supported by departments with the transition to Year 13 study.

I look forward enormously to the return of the students as the Post 16 centre has been very quiet for a few weeks with only the occasional group of students quietly awaiting the start of the exam or silently revising between examination.
