‘Am I the best I can be?’

In Year 10, students officially begin their GCSE studies, building upon their foundation skills from Year 9. As such, this is a vital year, as all class and home-work now focuses solely upon the content and approaches necessary for students to succeed in their all important exams.

Students will be guided through their studies by their class teachers, and supported by their form tutor and Head of Year team. Also available is the school career advisor, with whom students are encouraged to meet and discuss their aspirations for the future, and how these might best be achieved.

As the time for revision approaches, numerous drop-in clinics and independent study groups become available, to allow students to clarify their knowledge and further their understanding. Year 10 students also have access to GCSEPod, an invaluable online resource with an impressive range of podcasts and videos, written by specialist subject teachers.

Outside of the classroom, a wide-range of extra-curricular activities are available through Rosebery’s enrichment programme, with sporting activities, the Arts, technology, languages, literacy and numeracy. With a view to developing strong ties with the rest of the community they also have the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.

Above all, Year 10 students are encouraged to try their best each day, to build positive relationships with their teachers and their peers, and, most importantly, to make progress and enjoy their learning.
