Year 11 Mantra "Be selfish for my grade"

Year 11 Mantra "Be selfish for my grade"

Year 11

The countdown is on ...

Year 11 – GCSE's are upon us!

As you begin your formal GCSEs, this is your moment to focus with absolute clarity and purpose. Everything you have worked towards now comes into play.

Remember our mantra: “Be selfish for my own grade.”

This means:

  • Prioritising your time and energy on what you need to succeed
  • Making smart choices about revision, rest, and preparation
  • Surrounding yourself with focus, not distraction
  • Taking full ownership of your effort in every exam

Being “selfish” in this context is about backing yourself—putting your goals first and giving yourself the best possible chance to achieve what you are capable of.

Stay calm, stay disciplined, and trust the work you have put in. Every exam is an opportunity to show what you know.

We are proud of you—now go and prove it to yourselves.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Mr Murphy

Vice Principal
