I WAS extremely upset and saddened to read the letters published last week.

Some were written by students who had just returned from a study weekend run by our maths department!

The staff were astonished.

What concerns me most is that the result of the letters has caused a great deal of unrest amongst Year 11 students at a time they can least afford to be distracted from their studies.

Parents, I urge you to work with the school to get pupils focused on their revision.

Students, please make the most of your revision time during these last few weeks.
