Year 10

Year 10 Progress Lead – Mrs Doran
Head of Key Stage 4 – Miss Gower

My role as Progress Lead is to navigate students through Year 10 and help them make the best progress possible in their lessons, whilst providing pastoral support. This is done in many ways such as observing classroom behaviour and students’ engagement in lessons, helping to identify student learning needs, and making sure students have all the necessary equipment for learning at the start of every day. My role is to also support students with their behaviour, well-being, attendance as well as giving advice.  I greet students every morning and help to ensure they start their day in the right mindset. Year 10 students are starting their GCSE option subjects this year, which is very exciting. It will be a year filled with amazing opportunities. Year 10 are now officially upper school, senior students, which means they are now role models to our lower school students.

At Millfield, we have high expectations for the progress and behaviour of our students. We believe that each student has the potential to excel. I work closely with teachers, parents, and students to ensure that this potential is recognised. I closely monitor academic progress, offering guidance and support to address any challenges that may arise. Our aim is to provide students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for the demands of high school and beyond. I work with students and staff to help students to overcome barriers and maximise the progress for each individual student.

As a school we aim to instil the importance of education and training so that students acquire the knowledge and qualifications for working in an ever-changing society in the future. This is why, as a school, we encourage all Year 10 students to take part in a two-week work experience programme. Alongside this, we provide visits to the sixth form and colleges, hold career days, invite in guest speakers, use the schools careers advisor and provide plenty of opportunities to gather all the information students need, to make the right decisions when they leave school.  

I am here to guide and support each student as they continue to grow academically, socially, and personally. I have a wealth of experience and passion for education, and I am dedicated to fostering a positive and nurturing learning environment.  I am confident that all our Year 10 students will continue to have an enriching and rewarding experience at Millfield. I look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and memorable moments as we navigate this important phase of their educational journey together.
