Welcome to the Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and Year 11) Finish Line Strategy page.
The purpose of this is to provide both students, and parents with all of the important information regarding the Finish Line.
The Finish Line Strategy is in place to ensure every child, every day, has the opportunity to succeed, and prepare well for their upcoming examinations.
Our support will be offered in phases and more information on this is available below.
