Celebrating our Year 11 students

Dear Parents and Carers

Celebrating our Year 11 students

I am writing to share with you the outcomes of this summer’s GCSE examinations. 

There are many individual stories of achievement, with students working hard, overcoming challenges and in many cases exceeding their own expectations.

We have seen particular successes in subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, drama and community languages. 

These reflect the breadth of talent at Heron Hall and the commitment of our staff and families in supporting our young people.

We have also seen encouraging improvements in a number of subjects compared to last year, which is a real credit to the hard work of students and staff.

I am immensely proud of our Year 11 students. 

They have shown real determination and resilience during their time with us, and these qualities will stand them in good stead as they take their next steps.

Your child

The successes we have celebrated this week show what is possible for every Heron Hall student. 

In just a few years’ time, your own child will be preparing for their GCSEs. 

With the right support, hard work and encouragement, they too can look forward to achieving results that open doors to the next stage of their education. 

We will be with them every step of the way.
