Year 10 TSLCs
We would like to invite parents and carers to Y10’s first Teacher-Student Led conferences on Thursday, 5th June 2025.
These conferences will provide parents with an opportunity to meet with subject-specific teachers, allow students to discuss and reflect on their progress in different subjects following their upcoming mock exams and look at their own areas for development as they move towards Y11.
Students will be given a booking form which will allow them to book a time between 15:30 and 18:30. These will be booked on a first come first served basis so please ask your child to see their booking form and suggest a time to meet teaching staff.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Crew Brunel: A Strong Start
Although it’s been a shorter week, Crew Brunel has hit the ground running after the two week break!
We’ve taken these first few days to re-establish our routines, remind ourselves of the school norms and non-negotiables, and get back into the flow of learning. It’s been great to reconnect, shake off the holiday haze, and start strong as a crew. This week also marked the beginning of our new Expedition, and we’ve jumped straight into immersion.
But it’s not all been work and no play. One of the highlights was ending the week with a fun, Easter-themed Crew session. From sweet treats to light-hearted activities, it was a lovely way to wrap up our return and celebrate being back together.
Here’s to a strong start and an even stronger term ahead!

Year 10 Mock Exams
Dear Parents and Families of Students in Year 10,
Our Year 10 students are now at a stage in Key Stage 4 where they are ready to undertake their first round of mock GCSE examinations. These will take place during the week commencing April 28th. As this is the first set of mocks students have done, it will not be a full set, and instead students will sit a small sample from each of our core subjects to get them used to the process of preparing and sitting exams. Please see the timetable attached below.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s Crew Leader in the first instance.
Best wishes,
The Year 10 Team
