Our aim is to provide you with the highest standard of academic and pastoral support to guide you on your path beyond college.

Our college is separate from the main school with its own classrooms and student areas. Class sizes are small and this means you will get the individual time and attention you need from subject teachers. We have a large sixth form leadership team whose aim is to guide you through your time with us and offer advice and intervention when necessary.

Courses are varied and we provide a range of enrichment opportunities to ensure our students are well developed learners with a real interest in the subjects they study. We have specialist tutors who you will see daily and will ensure you settle in quickly and get the most out of your time with us.

Our community is diverse and we have students from a wide range of schools and backgrounds. Our tutorial programme ensures we discuss issues that matter to you and the world beyond Turton. Additionally, our vibrant student council ensures there is always lots going on. This includes social, sporting and fundraising activities to give you opportunities to get involved and make new friends.

My aim is to ensure you are challenged, supported and successful, and I believe Turton is the place to make that happen.

Your child’s final year is about demonstrating five years of learning academically, emotionally and socially. Our team is here to help your young adults to develop traits such as resilience, a sense of purpose, empathy and promoting themselves positively within ours and the wider community.

We will provide Year 11 with a purposeful environment that allows them to develop as characters, learn effectively, take educated risks and develop the skills necessary for a successful future. The team offer advice and guidance on revision techniques and managing stress as well as catch up sessions to ensure students stay on track.

We will also assist with their preparations for exams and their future careers with a team that is knowledgeable and caring and prepared to go the extra mile for our pupils. All we ask is that the year group work with us to give themselves the best opportunity for their future.

As the senior year group, pupils have the added pressure of modelling positive behaviours for our younger pupils. This responsibility provides them with a glimpse of the expectations required in their working lives. Our Staff aim to help our pupils to succeed by modelling the virtues that are expressed within the Turton Touchstones. Pastoral Leaders and group tutors will monitor pupils closely and provide intervention where necessary. At the end of five years of hard work we will celebrate our successes with a range of activities, including the year 11 Prom.

Head of Year 11

Year 10 is a pivotal point in your child’s school career, the transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 being the most obvious. Students have now begun to specialise, having selected subjects in line with their career aspirations or natural aptitude. They are now well established within their school environment, and have built friendships and positive relationships with peers and staff alike. The next two years are about working as a team towards being the best they can possibly be – both academically but also as a well-rounded and caring individual.

Last year, GCSE students received ‘Centre Assessed Grades,’ as they were unable to sit their exams. It is with this in mind that we have adopted a ‘make every day count’ approach. Every lesson, homework and exam along the way, is a chance to influence their grade, and with the lion’s share of GCSE content undertaken in year 10, it’s imperative that no time is wasted.

Assemblies will look to develop good learning habits and equip our students sufficiently to deal with the turbulence of adolescence. When the ‘going gets tough’, as it inevitably will do in this year, there are mentors and support staff with a wealth of experience who can work with your child. We offer careers advice, KS5 Taster Days in the Sixth form. The team offer advice and guidance on revision techniques, managing stress and catch up sessions to ensure students stay on track. Reviewing work is a priority this year, and so during registration, students will look at the various methods of revision and review, in order to establish techniques best fitting their individual style of learning.

Pupils will also be expected in Year 10 to model the behaviours and values they would expect to see in the younger years. They are now young adults, who are working towards becoming prefects and other positions of responsibility.

In all of this, communication between home, pupils and staff is key. Please do not hesitate to get in touch no matter your concern.

Mr R. Foy

Head of Year 10
