Welcome to Year 11
Year 11 marks the final year of our students journey with us at Beckfoot Oakbank, as they embark on their GCSE exams and make important decisions about their future.
Students will ensure they are fully prepared for the exams as we support them with revision, and ensure they’re equipped with strategies to deal with what can often be a stressful period in their lives.
We will also ensure students are prepared to begin the process of considering their next destinations – whether they choose to remain at our Sixth Form, go to college, or enter an apprenticeship or employment.
GCSEs and Support
To allow your child to reach their full potential in their exams in May, they should have a comfortable and quiet workspace at home, where they know you can support them if they need it.
It is helpful to prioritise school work in your home, this could be done by agreeing a regular time to do it. However, you should also empower them and encourage them to keep up their good work, praising them will only strengthen their resilience and effort
