Year 10 Information Evening
On Wednesday 25th September we welcomed Year 10 families into the school to gain vital information on the beginning of the GCSE journey for their children. Families were given a presentation from their Achievement Leader, Ms Stapleton, focusing on key information and advice of how to support their children at home, followed by information on assessment in our three core subjects; English, Maths and Science. It was great to see so many discussions taking place from the wealth of GCSE subjects we have here at Eastlea, and look forward to the next time we are able to open our doors to our Eastlea community. Ms Anderson, Assistant Headteacher
