As part of Corby Technical School’s dedication to ensuring students are furnished with all the relevant skills and information to thrive in their academic studies this year, we are offering parents/carers of Year 11 students an opportunity to find out more about ways in which you can support your child at this important stage of their school life.
On Tuesday 28th February we would like to invite you into school to discuss a number of ways in which you can support your child with revision and life beyond GCSE exams.
As part of the evening, you will receive the following hard copies of materials to help support you with your child’s revision:
• Choices at 16+ pack
• Exam Booklet
• Revision Booklet
• Weekly Revision Planner
The session will begin at 5.30pm and you will hear from staff about how to support your child with revision in the three core subjects (Maths, English and Science), as well as information on general revision skills that apply to all subjects and the process of considering post-16 provisions.

“It is always a pleasure to be part of the journey of our students as we witness them moving onto ambitious careers and we have no doubt that they all have bright and successful futures ahead of them.
“Thank you to our teachers and school staff who have supported the students along the way and thank you to parents and carers for your support over the years.
“Most importantly, thank you to all our students for allowing us to be part of their journey and we hope you return to Corby Technical School to share your successes and inspire our future school leavers.”

Excitement has surrounded Corby Technical School today as students celebrated their GCSE results and look forward to their further education plans.
The students were among the first group to complete exams since the disruption caused by Covid-19.
Angela Reynolds, Principal at Corby Technical School, said: “I am so proud of each of our students today who have achieved excellent results that are thoroughly deserved. The accomplishments seen today are a real tribute to the incredible work ethic and drive shown across the year group. Celebrations were absolutely in order which I was thrilled to be a part of this morning.
“Students have faced great obstacles over the last few years and have demonstrated resilience and perseverance throughout their studies despite the turbulence. It is always a pleasure to be part of our student’s journeys as we witness them moving on.”
Many students will be returning to the school’s Sixth Form, whereas some students have secured apprenticeships in finance, social media, and Engineering. Others have accepted places at various colleges to study Drama, Graphic Design, Law and Criminology, Engineering, and Game Design.
Mrs. Reynolds added: “Maintaining the same upbeat, determined attitude that has been shown will propel our pupils forward as they take the next steps, and there is no doubt they all have the potential for fantastic, successful futures. I look forward to welcoming many students back to the Sixth Form to begin their A-Level studies and work toward their next steps. I am thrilled to see the rest of the students moving a step toward their life ambitions and wish them every success in their careers.
“I am grateful to our teachers and school staff who have supported and motivated our students throughout, and a massive thank you to parents and carers for their consistent encouragement.
“Most importantly, thank you to all our students for allowing us to be part of their journey. We look forward to having you back at Corby Technical School where you can share your successes and inspire our future school leavers.”
“Every teacher and educational staff have enjoyed getting to know our Year 11 and will always be really proud of them.”
