Welcome to Year 9
Dear Parents / Guardians,
A big welcome to you and your daughter to Year 9! I was very proud of their end of Year 8 reports and I look forward to seeing what they can achieve this year in the next step in their journey.
This is a very exciting and important year for Year 9 students as they will be starting to learn material for their GCSEs in subjects such as Science, and will be choosing the other GCSE subjects they wish to study in Year 10 and 11. It is vital that your daughter thinks carefully about these choices and the Year 9 pastoral team will be on hand to help guide them through this process. As workload and quantity of homework increases it is important that your daughter focuses on her studies and tries her best in all lessons. I would also encourage your daughter to enjoy the variety of extra-curricular clubs and events available. The Year 9 pastoral team is shown below: 9EW Curie – Mrs E Willett (Mon, Tues, Wed) – ewillett@presdales.herts.sch.uk & Mrs A Smith (Thurs, Fri) – asmith@presdales.herts.sch.uk As a team we are very much looking forward to supporting your daughter during this next step.
