A-Making
A group of 30 Year 11 students spent a day at the Rendezvous Hotel on an ‘A-Making’ study day. The event, led by an entertaining chief examiner, was targeted at those aiming for A grades in the summer exams. Students were given useful advice on how to impress examiners and had a rare opportunity to work with people from other schools in the area. Everyone agreed the day had been really useful and the lunch was lovely! All the students who attended did Parkside proud and helped to make the day a big success.
