Year 13 Leavers Arrangements

Dear Parent/Carer

As the year draws to a close, we are sad to see our Year 13 students leave us but look forward to celebrating their successes and wishing them all the very best as they go off in their different directions. We hope that we have given them the tools they need to succeed in their next challenges; whether that is university, employment, or an apprenticeship.

Following the examination and coursework moderation period, please be aware of the following dates and information for the remainder of the year:

Friday 9th May 2025: Leavers’ Mass

Year 13 Leavers’ Mass will start promptly at 1:20pm – attendance is compulsory. This will be held in the assembly hall. If students do not attend the Mass, they cannot attend the Leavers’ Celebration held on the 20th June 2025. Registers at the Mass will be taken.

Monday 12th May 2025: Study Leave for A-Level students begins

From Monday 12th May A-Level students will be permitted to study at home when they do not have exams. Students are welcome to work in school if they wish.

Vocational Health and Social Care students do not have study leave and are required in school as normal until they are signed off as having completed all their coursework.

By Friday 20th June: Book return

Students should return all textbooks to the Sixth Form team as soon as possible after finishing their exams or coursework, and by 20th June at the latest. Any students who do not return textbooks or pay for them if lost, will not be able to attend the Leavers’ Celebration and may have their exam certificates withheld.

Friday 20th June 4:00pm-7.00pm: Leavers’ Celebration

The celebration will take place between 4:00pm and 7:00pm. Please note that light alcoholic refreshments will be served at this event. If you have any objections to your child drinking alcohol, please let us know. Also, if your child has any dietary requirements, please make us aware of this.

Students will only be permitted to attend this event if they attended the Leavers’ Mass on Friday 9th May and have returned all their textbooks.

Yours sincerely

Mr A Rich

Head of Year 13
