  3. Last of Year 11- 9th May 2014 • Students must be in normal uniform BEFORE REGISTRATION. • They must bring a spare shirt with them for people to sign. It must not be the one they are wearing. • They will have lots of time to see their friends, take photos etc. but they must attend the activities put on for them. • NO eggs, flour, spray cans, silly string etc. • Kinver Edge If students fail to follow these rules they will be sent home

Before 9th May 3 nights of revision per week & either Saturday or Sunday Rest breaks are built in. 2 x 60 minute slots of revision per evening covering a variety of topics and subjects. A suitable area, away from the daily distractions of FaceBook etc.!
