Dear Year 11 students and families,

I am writing this letter to inform you about arrangements regarding Results Day on Thursday 22nd August 2024.
Students will be able to collect their results between 9 and 10am. Families are welcome to join students during this time. There will be a videographer and photographer capturing images of the morning and these will be available to view at a later stage on our social media platforms.

During this time, there will be support available from staff members in relation to next steps, enrolment at post-16 providers and any queries regarding retakes. Sometimes decisions regarding next steps can change following receipt of results, and we will support students with any changes they are considering making. I would like to reassure all students and families that, as a school, we remain committed to our students even once they have left us and therefore, the offer of support and advice from us stretches into the rest of the summer break and the new academic year ahead. Students have access to their school email until Saturday 31st August 2024. Any contact with staff members from this point will need to take place using personal email addresses.

Any student who is not able to attend on Results Day between 9 and 10am should contact myself and Ms Curtis, Exams Officer, in order to arrange an alternative collection time. A family member can collect results on behalf of a student if appropriate ID is provided – for example, a bill with home address or photographic ID.

In order to support our students and families in younger years, we would also like to ask that any unwanted uniform items are donated to the school, and these can be brought in on Results Day.

I will be in touch again after Results Day with a summary of our first Year 11 cohort’s achievements. However, in the meantime, I would like to wish all of you a continued safe and restful summer and I look forward to celebrating with you all next week.

Yours faithfully,
Ms Holmes
Deputy Headteacher

On Thursday 11th July we welcomed students, staff, parents and carers into school for our annual Celebration Evening. A fantastic evening celebrating the achievements of students from Year 7 - Year 10. We were also treated to several musical performances from the WPSfG Vocal Ensemble and Concert Band. We extend our gratitude to Jade Barnett, our guest speaker, is a public speaker, presenter, facilitator, and advocate for young Londoners, whose inspiring speech resonated with our students and audience. Thank you, Jade, for being part of this special evening.

Our Headteacher, Ms L Williams comments, ‘This evening celebrates what our students have achieved academically, socially, emotionally, and ethically. I am honoured to celebrate these achievements with you. I hope that you feel a great sense of achievement. I know that you will continue to develop into well rounded, confident and articulate young people, who will be ready to enter the world and create change for the better. May we, as staff and parents, work together to support our students as they continue their journey to success here at the Poly. Thank you to you all for attending this evening.’
