PiXL Independence Tasks

A folder containing all of the PiXL Independence Tasks can be found by clicking here. These tasks can be completed without direction from staff, but they would be more than happy to check answers and provide feedback if asked. Please note, students will need to use their Manor Cloud email account to access these tasks.

PiXL Wave

Students will complete a final set of trial exams in English, Maths and Science during March. Students from nearly 1000 schools will sit these exams, allowing our teachers to identify topics which require further revision and intervention in the period leading up to their final examinations.

Results from the PiXL Wave will be available on Tuesday 23 April 2019 at a parent event where you will also be provided with final advice from the Directors of English, Maths and Science. More details about the PiXL Wave Results Evening to follow.

PiXL Power to Perform

We know that the build up to the summer exam season is busy, therefore it is important that students take care of their wellbeing as well as working hard on revising and preparing for this time. Please click here to view the PiXL Power to Perform Parent Advice and click here to view the PiXL Power to Perform Recipes, designed to help students eat a balanced diet that will enhance students performance, contribution and energy.
