Pupils in their final year at Murray Park have a dedicated year team to ensure that they have the support needed to succeed in their GCSE’s. As pupils leave Murray Park to a range of Post 16 opportunities different levels of provision is offered throughout the year. These include Careers and guidance, coursework sessions and revision. This has already begun in the summer term of Y10. Every Y11 pupil will be assisted by the Y11 team so that they get individualized support in their final year.
