Welcome to Year 10

Dear Parents/Carers,

I would like to welcome you and your daughter to Year 10 at Presdales. The Year 10 team of Form Tutors and I are very much looking forward to working with and supporting all of Year 10 this year to ensure they can fulfill their potential and get the most out of their time with us.

Year 10 is a very important year for students as they start their GCSE courses. It sees students joining new classes with new teachers, developing more friendships, and inevitably learning to manage an increased workload. We hope that our students are excited about studying the subjects they have chosen to take forward from Year 9 alongside their core subjects and are ready to show enthusiasm and dedication to their studies.

We are also looking forward to seeing our students have the opportunity once again to engage with the numerous extra-curricular activities that Presdales offers and learning to balance these alongside their studies. As a year group we will be investigating the school issue of INTEGRITY and exploring through assemblies and form group activities how this can enhance our efforts and contribution to the school and wider communities.

Year 10 students will be supported every step of the way by the Year 10 Pastoral Team, Form Tutors and their subject teachers. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns relating to your daughter’s school life.

Mrs Jane Fry
Head of Year 10
