Well done to our GCSE and 'A' Level students!!
75% of our yr11 students achieved 5+ A*-C grades and 60% achieved 5+ A*-C including English and Maths.
99.5% of the students passed at least 5 GCSE subjects and 17 of the students achieved at least 10 A* and A grades.

We were delighted with the 'A' Level results which were a credit to the students and staff and help us to maintain our reputation as one of the best 6th forms in the area. The new A* grade was secured by at least one student in nine of the different subjects. Six students achieved three or more A*/A grades.
The overall pass rate was 99.5%. The average points score per student (750) and the average points score per entry (206) was very impressive!

The Emmbrook Parent Portal
The Parent Portal is a new online service which will allow you to support your child at school. The Emmbrook Parent Portal, in the first phase, will give you access to your child’s timetable, contact details and attendance information. Our second phase, planned to be available from December 2010, will introduce assessment information, details on your child’s progress and targets, behaviour details and SEN status. Over the next few months parents will be invited to apply for a logon to gain access to the Parent Portal. For more information about the Parent Portal and what it offers please take a look at the links below.

After School Detentions
In line with the Schools Behaviour for Learning Policy and Government guidelines an after school detention must be served so long as parents have been given 24 hours notice. Parents cannot refuse for their child to attend either because of difficulties with alternative transport arrangements or disagreeing with the imposition of the detention. A student who refuses to attend a detention will be excluded. Parents can contact either Mr Smith or Mr Matthias in advance of the detention to discuss the matter.

Important information from Mr Matthias

Hoodies: It appears there has been some ‘confusion’. A hoody is any sweatshirt or over garment that is non-waterproof and with a hood.
Piercings: No body piercing jewellery is allowed.
Students who infringe these rules after half term will be refused admission
