I am pleased to inform you that your exam certificates from Summer 2024 will be available to collect from Main Reception from Monday 9 December 2024. Certificate collection hours are 11am - 2pm.
If you are collecting your certificates in person, you will not require any ID. If you require a third-party person to collect your certificates on your behalf, please fill in the form on the reverse of this letter. The third-party collector must have this form or a written letter giving your consent and also proof of their ID. If they do not have any ID, we will not release your certificates to them.
Please be reminded that your certificates are legal documents and therefore the school can only retain them for 1-year after the stated collection date and then they will be destroyed. Replacement certificates will be charged at approx. £55 and will be available from the individual exam boards. All certificates will be checked by the person collecting the certificates, and signed for upon collection to ensure their accuracy. The school will not be held liable for any inaccuracies once the certificates have been signed for.
Kind regards
Miss S Walker
Exams Officer
I would like to invite you to attend our Options Evening on Tuesday 3rd November 2024. This is an important evening and provides you with an opportunity to discuss your child’s GCSE option choices.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Yours faithfully
Mrs Field
Vice Principal
Dear Parent/Carer,
We have been really impressed with the effort and commitment of the Year 11 students during the Mock Exams they have completed over the course of three weeks. Please congratulate them on their efforts so far and continue to support them as they enter their last few months of schooling at Coop Academy Leeds.
Students will receive their mock exam results during their tutor time session on Monday 16 December 2024 in the Library. This process will closely reflect what they will experience in Summer 2025.
Staff will be on hand to support students if their results are not what they had hoped. They will help guide them to what Post 16 options and applications would be available with the results they achieved to ensure that they have made the right choices throughout their exams. Please continue to discuss this at home with your child.
As an Academy we celebrate achievements and successes, and this may involve publishing photographs of students with their results on social media. No student names will be shown or shared. If you do not want your child’s photo and results to be shared on social media, please can you put this in writing and send this in to school for the attention of the Examinations Officer.
Finally, we look forward to working with you next year to ensure our students get their best possible GCSE grades in Summer 2025.
Best Wishes,
Miss N Jones
Headteacher
Dear Parent / Guardian,
I hope this letter finds you well. We are pleased to inform you that, in preparation for upcoming assessments and to provide additional support for our Year 11 students, we will be offering a series of revision sessions throughout the October half-term break. These sessions have been specifically designed to help our students consolidate their learning and boost their confidence ahead of their mock exams, which start on Monday, 4th November.
The timetable for the revision sessions is attached in this letter. We encourage all students to attend the sessions relevant to their subjects to make the most of this valuable opportunity.
To ensure the safety and smooth running of the sessions, students are required to enter the Academy via the Student Reception. They must also sign in upon arrival.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Pearson

A huge thank you to all our staff, students, and our friends in Valenciennes for making this possible. Together, we are building a brighter, more connected future!
