May we extend a very warm welcome to parents, carers and students of Year 11.

We work together as a strong team as the students commence their GCSE courses. The Year 11 team will continue to support the students as we have done for the past four years. It is essential that all students focus on their academic studies and we look forward to seeing how the students progress and thrive in their chosen subjects.

All information about exams and revision can be found under the "Curriculum" section of our website.

Mrs Sharp has launched this year’s Bulmershe Ascent—our reward programme designed to keep students motivated in the final stretch. It’s all about recognising their hard work, sparking positive conversations and encouraging attendance at after-school revision sessions. We know this journey can feel like climbing a mountain, but we’re in it together every step of the way!
