Welcome to Year 11
Year 11 is a most important year as pupils will take their GCSE examinations. The Year 11 team will support and nurture the pupils to ensure that they achieve the highest standards possible. Attendance is a key theme and it is essential that all Year 11 pupils understand the importance of attendance and how absences can affect overall GCSE grades.
Our theme for the year is Illuminate. We want to encourage our year 11 students to recognise:
-
You have so much potential – it’s up to you to seek it and do it
-
God has a plan for each of you
-
You can light up the world with who God wants you to be
Our theme is linked to Matthew 5:16 -
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
And a quote from St Catherine of Siena, who said: ““Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire”
Notice Board
Our year group notice board is found in the Sefton park building, 2nd floor, outside S206, near the KS4 pastoral office and is kept up-to-date with notices and other essential information, including details of clubs, form attendance and seasonal events. Each form has a notice board in their form room also.

Oh, The Place You'll Go Poem
Oh, the Places You’ll Go Poem
Adapted for Bellerive Y11 2022-23 students
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the girl who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
You're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
You'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
You'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
In the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
And frequently do
To people as brainy
And footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
Don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
Who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don' t
Because, sometimes, you won't.
But on you will go though the weather be foul.
On you will go though your enemies prowl.
Onward up many a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike,
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's
A Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
Be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
Or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your future is waiting.
So...get on your way!
