Oak Heights school in Hounslow has started a tuition centre in the evening

It is my pleasure to write this congratulatory letter to all of our year 11 students for their outstanding Further Maths Level 2 and Science GCSE results. Results release day is often very nerve wracking as I am sure you are well aware, however, the results achieved today have clearly reflected the hard work of our students coupled with the support of yourselves and our outstanding teachers at Oak Heights School.
GCSE examinations are now tougher than ever before and its important that students work early to avoid disaapointment. Oak Heights school in Hounslow has now started a tuition centre in the evening which will support students in Maths, English and Sciences as well as History. Our English teacher, a graduate from Oxford University will be leading the lessons at Oak Heights School. Support lessons are free to those students at Oak Heights who require it but will be chargable at a small fee to those who are from other nearby schools.
Including our 4 year 11 students who that sat their Maths GCSE exams early last summer, we have now set a very high standard within our school, with 5 A*'s , 8 A's and 1 B&C grade in maths GCSE. We would also like to congratulate a special student from year 11 who achieved 7 A* and 5A's in her GCSE's. Well Done !
I ask that you continue to work with us and support your child with their studying as you have done so far, in order for us to keep these outstanding grades consistent throughout all subjects.
I would like to remind you that due to changes with the DFE there will no longer be any early sittings for GCSE exams. All GCSE exams will be sat in Year 11 as linear examinations and retakes can only now take place in Maths and English during the November series.
Again, well done for all of your hard work! I look forward to seeing the same effort throughout the academic year not only from our year 11s but from all other year groups as well!
All internal exam results including end of term 1 results will be displayed on the school window and will be discussed during the next parent day which will be held in September / October. The date and times are yet to be confirmed.
A reminder that school starts in September dates can be found on the school website http://oakheights.co.uk/
