Update on BTEC Grading
Dear Parent/Carer/ Year 11 pupil
Dear Parent/Carer/ Year 11 pupil
GCSE results will be issued to pupils via email on Thursday 20 August from 8 am.
Pupils will receive a letter with details of automatic enrolment and arrangements for the start of term from Thursday 20 August.
If we have to discuss your GCSE results and sixth form subject choices, we will be in touch to arrange meetings in school for pupils and parents on Thursday 20 August.
While we await exam board notification, we will be issuing centre assessed grades to students for A Level subjects today. Please check your email.
I am delighted that justice has finally been served to our Yr13 students with the Ofqual announcement. Once the Exam Boards have officially reissued the Grades we will release the results to our students as soon as we possibly can.
I’m very proud of the way students and parents conducted themselves through the disappointment since last Thursday. You handled yourselves with great dignity the brilliant Class of 2020! SR
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR YEAR 13 STUDENTS
As a community, we are very proud of our Year 13 students and their achievements during their journey with us. They have enriched our lives, made invaluable contributions to the school and been a privilege to teach.
We congratulate all our students who have got the grades needed for their university of choice. However, we are dismayed at the number of downgraded results by the Exam Boards. Our students deserved much better and we will do everything to support them through the appeal process.
Dear Parents/Carers
A Level Exam Results 2020
We hope you are managing to have an enjoyable summer break. As you’ll be aware, we are unable to conduct Results’ Day in the usual way this year. This is always a day that all of the staff at SJP look forward to, but ultimately, we have had to prioritise the safety and well-being of everyone in our community and thus issue your results remotely. Consequently, your results will be sent to you via both a letter in the post and the email address you provided; you should receive your results via e-mail by 10am. In advance of this, could I ask that you check you are able to access your e-mail account.
Dear Parents/Carers
It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of SJP. It is a privilege to have been appointed by the Multi Academy Trust and Governors and entrusted with the job of leading such a fantastic school. In the words of Pope Francis, “Teaching is a beautiful job; as it allows you to see the growth day by day of the people entrusted to your care”. We are truly blessed with such wonderful pupils.
Dear Parents and Carers
It is with a heavy heart that I write my letter of farewell to you as I take up retirement at the end of this week. I joined SJP in 2001 and of course have seen it change, grow and develop into a brilliant school over a sustained period. It has done so as a result of the commitment and dedication of all the staff here, over time, who bought into a vision that had children at the forefront. I’ve never ceased to be amazed at how staff here have continually gone the extra mile and made massive sacrifices. It is this commitment which is behind SJP’s unique success.
Dear Parents & Carers
I just wanted to let you know that we are responding to the latest government guidance released last week to plan for September. Mrs Sharratt will be writing to you next week to give you clearer details of the plans but I think it’s important that you have some broad brushstrokes.
Dear Parents and Carers
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support throughout this difficult time. We are extremely proud of our students and the way they have adjusted to remote and independent learning. I do appreciate that this is not an easy time and lockdown will have presented with many different pressures along the way. It has been a year like no other and I’m sure we’ll emerge into a different sense of normal when we get through it. The time has given us the opportunity to reflect on many things but hopefully we will all value the importance of education that much more and not take it for granted. The ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement also gives us a reminder that part of our job as educators is to lift the blindness and ignorance that still exists in our world today.
