Dear Parents and carers, 

Firstly, a huge congratulations to Eli Ashbridge and Ewan White, both of whom received offer letters from Cambridge University this week. Ewan has been offered a place to study Maths, and Eli Computer Science. It is an incredible achievement to reach the offer stage. For Computer Science, less than 10% of applicants nationally are offered a place. This continues to build on our success from last year, when all four medical school applicants received places, and Joseph Pegg secured a place to study Law at Oxford. We realise that this is at the offer stage, but it does reflect how impressed I have been by the Sixth Form since joining Hessle. Crucially, our students are achieving because of the excellent support of their parents and carers.  

Year 10 mock exams have gone well so far with students taking them very seriously. Thursday was a busy day with Lizann Lowson (CEO) and Amanda Bridgeman (Head of People Services) visiting the school and walking around seeing lessons and chatting with students. We also had year 11 mock interviews taking place both Thursday and Friday then next week sees the start of Year 11 mock exams, a crucial period for them. If your child is in year 11 then please encourage them to revise.  

I continue to be impressed by our students who are such great company. Thank you for your support as parents and carers.  

Mr Nixon

Headteacher
