YEAR 11 - 28 February 2025 - Letter to Parents

February 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,  

Year 11 Leavers’ Hoodies

Attached to this email is a letter from ‘Boomerang’, the company that produces our Leavers’ Hoodies. We warmly encourage Year 11s to purchase one, partly as a great memento, but also because we will permit Year 11s to wear School Leavers’ Hoodies - instead of blazers - in the summer term. This privilege will apply to students who have had fewer than 5 uniform violations between now and the start of the summer term only; please note other hoodies will not be permitted.

If you would like to purchase one of the School Leavers’ Hoodies, please use the online shop following the link provided below. The online shop will be available from 14.02.25 until 14.03.25.

There are optional extras regarding adding a nickname on the website. Hoodies will be delivered to school and will be given out following the Easter break. Students who have had more than 5 uniform violations will receive theirs at the end of the GCSE examination period.

As always, thank you for your continued support as we approach public examinations.

Best wishes, 

Khalid Naseem

Head of Y11
