This delightful emu is called Elmo. He/she (not sure which yet) lives with one of our fabulous Land-Based students and they are settling in well. I am looking forward to hearing progress and seeing pictures as they grow to full size.

Dear Year 11.
For your last day of revision before Friday's Chemistry paper 2, here are my suggested activities for revision.
1) Visit the Quiz Hub page and work through the questions on Chemistry paper 2.
2) Look through what is on each paper, find areas that you are unsure about and read through the content.
3) Go to Physics & Maths tutor's site. Click on the 5 topics for paper 2 and look at notes and mind maps and past exam questions.
4) All of the GCSE topics are available on GCSE Pod. Email me (through school) if you need me.
Good luck!!!
