I am immensely proud of our Year 11 students. This has been a hugely challenging 18 months for our community and our Year 11s have approached every hurdle with resilience, perseverance and good humour.
Jo Richardson prides itself on the motto ‘Success for All’ and a committed team of pastoral staff are dedicated to overseeing the progress and wellbeing of all students to ensure that they achieve their very best. Please see the bottom of this page for details of the team. ‘Success for All’ is celebrated regularly through Letters of Commendation, assemblies, phone calls home, credits, celebration breakfasts and certificates.

Year 11 can be one of the most challenging years of a young person’s life, therefore it is imperative that students are well prepared for the challenge ahead. Below are some of the many ways we are supporting Year 11 this year to ACHIEVE:
- Two Progress Evenings
- Pastoral Team available for both academic and wellbeing support
- Regular contact with parents via the planner/website/email
- Regular intervention sessions to support all levels of learning across all subjects
- Revision time build into tutor time
- Revision materials to use during revision periods
- Revision preparation packs before mock and real exams
- Personalised revision timetable planning with Year Team on request
- 1:1 careers interviews
- Range of OSHL clubs that run weekly
We expect our students to have excellent attendance and punctuality, be organised and prepared to learn. They should bring the correct equipment (pen, pencil, ruler, planner, reading book and scientific calculator) and resources to lessons, and ensure that homework is completed regularly and on time.
Excellent attendance and punctuality is vital in Year 11 to ensure that all students achieve to their highest potential. At Jo Richardson Community School we follow a rigorous attendance policy and contact parents on a regular basis. We ask that parents call in and let the school know if their child is going to be absent and send a note in on their return. We will monitor any student whose attendance falls below 95%.
We ask that parents and carers support us when students do not meet our expectations and encourage our Year 11s to take responsibility for their actions. We also ask that parents and carers check the planner regularly and sign it every weekend. It is also important that the completion of homework and revision is monitored at home. The Year Team is always available to support both parents and students.
