Once again we threw our doors open to welcome parents and Y5/Y6 students at our Open Evening 2019! And what a group we welcomed… discerning, explorative and excited. It was an evening to cherish as we welcomed over 300 families to see the school and find out a little bit more about what Yateley had to offer.

On the evening our guests heard from the headteacher and saw our departments in action as well as collecting our latest prospectus and further details on how to apply to join us as the class of 2020.

As always, if you still have questions please get in contact or visit us at one of our Open Mornings on Tuesday 8 October or Wednesday 9 October.

Thank you to all parents who attended our Y10 information evening! If you were unable to attend the main presentation is shown below for your keeping along with the Exams Information Booklet and A “How to Survive and Thrive” parent guide.

Bubbling with anticipation at our upcoming Open Evening for prospective Y5 and Y6 students (and their parents!). Join us at Yateley School from 6.15pm onwards on Tuesday 1 October 2019 to find out more about the school.

Can’t make it? Don’t worry! Just get in contact with our admin team and we would be delighted to host you at a time better suited to your needs.

My goodness will we miss them 😢

Goodbye wrecking balls xx

The end is near! Please see below for the final GCSE Week Ahead plans, there is a lot of detail in them and a lot of opportunity to boost your grades.

Important details:

1. There is a significant amount of study leave in the final week which means students are not required to attend when shown and that normal timetabled lessons are NOT running during these times. If you are unable to arrange pickups or drop-offs please rest assured that students can always use the library during school hours where “study morning/afternoon” is shown.
2. Monday 10 June is very “Maths-heavy” because we know so much more about what will be on the final paper (based on what has come previously). We will teach that specific exam content on the Monday 10 June… please don’t miss this as it can make all the difference!
3. Our Leavers’ Assembly is after the Physics exam on Friday 14 June during P3+P4 and students will depart at lunchtime.
   1. Students studying PM Further Maths can choose to miss Leavers’ Assembly and instead attend Further Maths lessons P3+P4 before their exam.
   2. You must not be wearing a signed shirt if you are in the PM Further Maths exam as you will not be allowed entry to the exam hall… please bring a spare shirt if you need one!

Remember when Gwyneth Paltrow couldn’t stop crying at the Oscars? That’s how I feel when speaking about how well our Y11s are doing so far in these exams! We are impossibly proud of them at the moment – such determination and strength together. This is GCSE Week Ahead #3 and we are more than halfway there, although it is without a doubt the hardest exam week. Well done everyone! Any questions or help required please do get in contact with me by emailing: peter.hill@yateley.hants.sch.uk.

BOOOOOM: It is week #2! See these GCSEs really shouldn’t have you running scared, put in the effort now and reap the rewards later! Here is our GCSE Week Ahead for next week (20 May to 24 May) so study it carefully and choose wisely… it’s all here to help you!

#1 in the GCSE Week Ahead series is here – showing students all the options they have for Monday 13 May to Friday 17 May to support their chances this summer. This year group has already passed 10,000 GCSEpod podcasts (now at 10,584 and counting!) and continue to impress with their work ethic… keep it up!

For more updates check back here weekly on Tuesday/Wednesday when the ‘next’ GCSE Week Ahead will be posted!

Having met with parents at Y11 information evening we are now sharing our resources from the evening. Hopefully parents feel well informed on the support available for both students and parents, but if you need anything else please don’t hesitate to contact peter.hill@yateley.hants.sch.uk and I’ll get back in touch ASAP! The main presentation is shown below and underneath you’ll find links to our other sessions!
