The Mosslands School Parent Portal

Huge congratulations go out to our Year 11 boys on their exemplary work and effort on their GCSEs this year. We are very proud of them and are looking forward to some good results. This Friday, 21^stJune is Clearing Day, where Y11s can come into school in their uniform for an hour to say goodbye to their friends and colleagues over some food and drinks.

This week our Y10 geography students have been busy doing GCSE fieldwork in North Wales, measuring rivers and footpaths and counting pedestrians on Moel Famau.

Our Y14s have now finished their exams and have gone off to enjoy the summer. Some have enrolled in Camp America, before settling down in September at university or in their new jobs.

Y10 have exams next week and are in lessons as normal when not in an exam. Y12 also have exams on Monday and Tuesday and are on study leave.
