As we conclude a successful academic year, we are proud of the dedication, resilience, and progress demonstrated by our pupils across all year groups. To sustain this positive momentum, we encourage all students in Years 7 to 10 to remain engaged with their learning throughout the summer break.
The Importance of Summer Learning
Research consistently shows that students who maintain academic activity over the holidays return to school more confident, better prepared, and more focused. Summer learning supports retention, builds independence, and contributes to long-term academic success.
A modest, consistent approach can have a significant impact:
20 to 30 minutes per day of reading or subject-specific activities
Balanced with time for rest, family, and personal interests
Focused on reinforcing key knowledge and developing positive study habits
A Focus on Progress, Not Pressure
Our aim is not to overwhelm pupils but to support steady, meaningful progress. Encouraging a growth mindset through small, regular efforts can positively influence motivation, wellbeing, and future choices.
We invite families to explore our curated summer reading lists, subject resources, and optional enrichment tasks. Together, let’s ensure that this summer supports a strong and confident start in September.
