RAYENEWSRaising Achievement at Cockshut Hill for Year Eleven

THE

Welcome to RAYE News, edition number 4.This is my first edition with this Year 11 cohort and I would like to say how excited I am to be working with your children. In my role as the Assistant Principal (Achievement for Key Stage 4/5) I have already got to know many students this year, however, I will be looking after Year 11, whilst Mrs Edgar is on maternity leave and plan to develop this further. I hope we can end your childs time at Cockshut Hill together on a high note. Next week sees the beginning of the Pre Public Examinations (formerly known as Mocks) and in this edition, we hope to offer you support and advice to get you and your child through this important period of their life. We have recently developed the website with more advice and guidance. If you have any extra queries please do not hesitate to contact me: g.medare@cockshut.bham.sch.uk
