Welcome to year 11, this will be another crucially important year. The exams that were completed in year 10 may offer some relief to students as they continue to progress this year, they will have their final stages of GCSEs to complete. They will also have some decisions to make about their next steps and how to get there. We often talk about the ‘School year’. The reality is that this academic year it is a 10-month journey before they are sitting their final exams and attending their ROA evening. Fear not, we are here to support you and your child every step of the way.

At YJB we aim to support your child with their preparation for their exams alongside guidance and support about their next steps. We have an excellent Careers advisor who will meet with your child individually to discuss potential options post 16, along with whole year assemblies and careers fairs from external agencies.

The pastoral programme is developed to encourage further guidance and advice on managing time, revision techniques, preparation for their next steps, and support throughout this busy year.
