  • Year 11 Key Information

    Published 29/01/25

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    As we approach Week 4 of the new half-term, I wanted to share some important updates to support your child as they prepare for the vital months ahead in Year 11.

    February Mock Examinations

    The February mocks are fast approaching, and these will play a crucial role in preparing students for their final GCSE examinations. It is essential that students are consistently revising, attending all lessons, and making the most of the resources and support available to them. The library is open every evening until 4:30 pm where students can complete independent study. 

    Afterschool Revision Sessions

    We are committed to providing comprehensive support for Year 11 students. A structured revision programme is in place every afternoon after school. These sessions are specifically designed to help students consolidate their learning, address areas of need, and prepare effectively for their exams. You can find further details about the sessions here:

    Y11 Revision Offer Phase 2 24-25.docx

    Compulsory Period 7 Lessons

    All Year 11 students who have been allocated compulsory Period 7 lessons must attend these sessions. These lessons are a vital opportunity for students to receive additional support in specific subject areas to help them achieve their full potential.

    Attendance at these sessions is mandatory, and we cannot stress enough their importance in preparing for the upcoming exams. Students who fail to attend without a valid reason will face sanctions, including a two-hour detention for truancy.

    The Importance of Attendance 

    Year 11 attendance is being closely monitored in the run-up to the Summer exams. It is critical that students are attending school everyday in order to reach their full potential in their exams. School starts at 8.25am, with some students attending earlier revision sessions. Year 11 must be in school on time to access their Tutor group session. Every day of absence is 6 lessons lost - this missed learning time could mean the difference between achieving target grades, or not. Over the next few weeks, Miss Fox and Miss Young will be sending letters home and visiting the homes of students whose attendance is of concern. Please contact the Attendance Improvement Team if you would like any further support with your child’s attendance.

    Thank you for your ongoing commitment to your child’s education. Together, we can help them succeed and reach their full potential.

    Best wishes.

    Miss Pearson

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    Just a reminder that tomorrow is parents evening for Year 9 and Year 11. 

    This is now running from 2pm until the earlier time of 5pm due to the ice around school and the forecast low temperatures.

  • GCSE Certificate collection

    Published 29/11/24

    I am pleased to inform you that your exam certificates from Summer 2024 will be available to collect from Main Reception from Monday 9 December 2024.  Certificate collection hours are 11am - 2pm.

    If you are collecting your certificates in person, you will not require any ID.  If you require a third-party person to collect your certificates on your behalf, please fill in the form on the reverse of this letter.  The third-party collector must have this form or a written letter giving your consent and also proof of their ID. If they do not have any ID, we will not release your certificates to them.

    Please be reminded that your certificates are legal documents and therefore the school can only retain them for 1-year after the stated collection date and then they will be destroyed.  Replacement certificates will be charged at approx. £55 and will be available from the individual exam boards.  All certificates will be checked by the person collecting the certificates, and signed for upon collection to ensure their accuracy. The school will not be held liable for any inaccuracies once the certificates have been signed for.

    Kind regards

    Miss S Walker

    Exams Officer

  • Mock Results Letter 2024

    Published 22/11/24

    Dear Parent/Carer,

    We have been really impressed with the effort and commitment of the Year 11 students during the Mock Exams they have completed over the course of three weeks. Please congratulate them on their efforts so far and continue to support them as they enter their last few months of schooling at Coop Academy Leeds.

    Students will receive their mock exam results during their tutor time session on Monday 16 December 2024 in the Library. This process will closely reflect what they will experience in Summer 2025.

    Staff will be on hand to support students if their results are not what they had hoped. They will help guide them to what Post 16 options and applications would be available with the results they achieved to ensure that they have made the right choices throughout their exams. Please continue to discuss this at home with your child. 

    As an Academy we celebrate achievements and successes, and this may involve publishing photographs of students with their results on social media. No student names will be shown or shared. If you do not want your child’s photo and results to be shared on social media, please can you put this in writing and send this in to school for the attention of the Examinations Officer. 

    Finally, we look forward to working with you next year to ensure our students get their best possible GCSE grades in Summer 2025.

    Best Wishes,

    Miss N Jones

    Headteacher
