Dear Parent/Carer,
It is the Summer Term at Sharples and one which will see our Year 11 students beginning their formal GCSE exams in just a few days’ time. Many students were in school during the holidays for revision sessions and final preparation and their dedication is testament to the hard work that both staff and students give at Sharples. We wish them all the very best of luck for the next few weeks.
We will be asking all students across the school to be mindful of the examinations taking place in venues across the school every day during this important time, ensuring that they are respectful of the need for quiet areas during exam times and bearing with some minor displacements to their normal classrooms.
As the warmer weather arrives, I would like to remind you that hoodies are not permitted to be worn at school at any time. We are extremely proud of how smart our students present at Sharples, and it is important that this continues during the summer term. If the temperature does rise, I will of course contact families to advise of measures to help our students stay cool.
I would like to remind you of some important dates for your diary this term:
Parent Forum – Wednesday 11th June 2.15-3.15pm. Please email admin-support@sharplesschool.co.uk to confirm your attendance.
Year 7 Progress Evening – Thursday 1st May 4-7pm
Year 8 Progress Evening – Thursday 26th June 4-7pm
Year 10 Progress Evening – Wednesday 9th July 4-7pm
It is vital that all students are represented at their Progress Evening, for parents and carers to discuss the academic progress of your child this year.
Finally, on Wednesday and Thursday this week we open our theatre doors for the whole school production of Oliver! We would love you to join us to watch this fantastic performance by our students, who have been working hard in preparation for many weeks. Doors open at 6.30pm with the show starting at 7pm each evening. Tickets are £6.50 for adults and £4.50 for children and can be purchased on the door. We hope to see you then!
Yours sincerely
Ms C Molyneux
Headteacher
