Year 11 exams start in earnest this week, with the first whole-year exam on Monday morning, which will be English Literature. After this exam we will be taking the Year 11 group photograph - so please make sure your child attends school in full school uniform. Year 11 will also have breakfast available to them if they have a morning exam, from 8am throughout the exam season. Further to my letter to you at the end of last week, if after half term your child has a morning and afternoon exam, then we will have supervised revision provision on the school site, so the expectation is that those students stay on site - the canteen will be available to them at lunchtime. We will be writing to you about May half term revision offers over the next couple of weeks.
Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week and we will be talking to pupils in assemblies about how we can build a kind and caring community that supports everyone.
Our free breakfast club is running successfully and is available for all students every morning during term time between 8.15am and 8.35am - bagels and a selection of spreads and juice is available.
We have had a busy week of sport this week, with Year 11 badminton finals in Hampshire, as well as an athletics event with representatives from Year 7 through to Year 10. Thank you to all students and staff who take part, organise and support these events.
Year 7 Parents, we have a Parents' Evening on Wednesday 11 June, so you will be receiving invites to attend this before we break for half term. There are subject assessments running in the week before half term for Year 7 and 8.
If you are taking part in any of the Walk the Wight activities on Sunday, I hope it goes well. Everyone is raising money for a great local cause. The weather is looking favourable for you at the moment!

Huge congratulations to the 
On Tuesday 6 May, the Year 11 boys badminton squad were representing the IOW at the Hampshire badminton finals after winning the IOW championships. The boys have been really committed to after-school badminton club throughout their time at Medina and their badminton skills have improved so much since they started in Year 7. It was great to see them showcasing them on the Hampshire stage.
On Wednesday 7 May, we took a small select team of athletes from Years 7 and 8 to Sandown for the Island Schools Junior Athletics Championships 2025. All students shone and we saw some amazing performances.
