Year 10 have shown incredible focus and enthusiasm for learning in the classroom and they have embraced enrichment and wider opportunities with real commitment. Year 10 have in total been awarded 22,287 achievement points. 23 students in Year 10 have attended school every day and 115 students have attended 95% or more of the time this year. As a year group, they have bought such joy and maturity to school life. Every day, they demonstrate the school virtues of respect and responsibility, justice and compassion, self-belief and resilience and confidence and honesty. I just want to take this opportunity to say that I am incredibly impressed with the hard work, effort and attitude to learning demonstrated by the students. I hope they continue to embrace all of the support and enrichment opportunities open to them so they can achieve their potential. I am looking forward to being your Pastoral Leader for the rest of your school journey. We are very proud of Year 10, and we wish you all a very happy and holy Christmas. Yours faithfully, Mr M Blackwood – Pastoral Manager of Year 10 ![](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/images/Letterheads/LetterFooterWebDec23.png) [Year 10](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/year-10) [Latest News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) [ End of 2023 Letter for Year 12 and Year 13](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2023-12-20-end-of-2023-letter-for-year-12-and-year-13) [New Term Letter - January 2024 ](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2024-01-05-new-term-letter-january-2024) ### News & Gallery - [Gallery](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/photo-galleries) - [News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) - [Newsletters](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/newsletters) - [Parent Bulletins](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/parent-bulletins) ![The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/the-english-martyrs-catholic-school-and-sixth-form-3/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College Catcote Road Hartlepool TS25 4HA 01429 273790 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EnglishMartyrsSchool/) - [X](https://twitter.com/ems_hartlepool) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@TheEnglishMartyrsSchool) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ems_hartlepool/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
