Today has been the last official school day for year 11 pupils. They now only need to come in to school for subjects which have not yet been examined or the examinations themselves.
Tomorrow, there are Spanish and Food/Catering exams and all year 11 have a Physics exam on Friday morning.
Year 10 pupils thoroughly enjoyed their taster sessions at Newcastle under Lyme College today.
Pupils took part in sessions on Sport, Photography, Health and Social Care, Performing Arts, Football and Games Design. Not only did they sample the subjects available but the also gained an insight into college life.
GCSE exams continue for year 11 this week and year 10 have exams for the next two weeks as well.

Year 11 were gathered together during period 5 today to celebrate their time at Sir Thomas Boughey.
They have also been informed that their official leaving date and time will be 3:30pm on Wednesday 13th June.
Update on today’s racing. Mitch retired in both races due to battery failure. In race one Reggie achieved fastest lap and again in race two. Reggie covered 39 miles a full 5 miles ahead of the next competitor. Fastest lap was 28.6 mph and Reggie came in first 12.6 minutes ahead of second place St John Fisher. A brilliant result for the Spitfires beating 27 other cars.
Reggie and Mitch are racing at Mallory Park with the STBA Spitfires our Greenpower racing team. Starting on pole position Reggie was doing great with several fastest laps but has suffered two blow outs due to bodywork catching the wheels. Our pit crew are working on it. Meanwhile Mitch our re engineered kit car is putting in consistent laps in second position. Further updates later.
