Class of 2022: Leavers’ Celebration Breakfast/Assembly - 9.00am Friday 24 June

Thu 16 Jun 2022
We just wanted to contact Year 11 and parents/carers ahead of next week’s Year 11 ‘Class of 2022’ Leavers’ Breakfast/Assembly celebration with a few details about the arrangements, but also to ask for your help with something that will support families within our school and community.
 
Leavers’ Breakfast Friday 24 June - 9.00am Prompt

  • Year 11 should arrive for 9.00am prompt where they will be welcomed into the Auditorium.
  • Please can they aim to arrive around 5-10 minutes before this, but no earlier.
  • Students should wear full school uniform as we will be taking a lot of high quality photographs to remember the occasion, and these will be shared afterwards, with some on permanent display in school as a legacy to an incredible group of young people.
  • There will be an extended period of time for shirt signing after the meal, so students should bring a spare shirt for signing where possible please. We have bought plenty of pens for them to use!
  • There will be an extended celebration assembly with memories of the last five years, followed by some special awards by our wonderful Learning Manager, Mrs Jackson.
  • We aim to be finished by 10.45am at the latest.
  • We are surveying Year 11 about their menu requests for the breakfast after the Chemistry GCSE exam on Monday.
 
Leavers’ Photograph and Hoodies - Friday 17 June 2022 
Tomorrow, Friday 17 June, Year 11 have requested we take a Leavers’ photograph. This will happen during the Chemistry Masterclass, which runs from 11am - 1.30pm. I just wanted to give students some notice in case a particular hair-style was favoured! Students have been fantastic wearing full uniform during the exams, and this is especially important for tomorrow’s photograph. We will be giving out Leavers’ hoodies on Friday after the Chemistry masterclass. To be clear, full normal uniform must be worn during the GCSE examinations, but students are welcome to wear their hoodies when in masterclasses, etc and in school. 
 
Donations of PE kit/uniform/revision guides
We’d be very grateful if students could donate any items of PE kit, football boots and spare uniform that are in good condition, so we can use them to further support our Outwood Normanby families. I know these would be very gratefully received. We would also be thankful of any revision guides/text books/English texts that students have bought, that they no longer need. These can be brought along and dropped off in Reception at the start of the Leavers’ Breakfast.
