Final 11+ Session at The Stretch Academy 2014/15 At Stretch, our volunteer tutors help top-achieving primary pupils with 11+ preparation and enable them to competitively apply for the top places at the highest achieving secondary schools in the area! The Stretch Academy Cohort 2015 had their final session last week, so we celebrated with cake, sweets and a happy photo of them all! Below is taken from the certificate they each received: Dear Stretch Academy class of 2015 Congratulations on all of your hard work this year, and on all you have achieved. Since our first  session back in the Autumn of 2014 you have taken on new and challenging tasks, you have shown  dedication and leadership, and most of all you have shown courage in expanding your horizons. Over  the past nine months, you have developed new skills, found new talents and made new friends. You  have shown real character and determination, and you have made your families and teachers proud. I wish you all the very best for next year, for your next steps to Year 6 and secondary school, and for  the steps after that. It has been a real pleasure to teach you this year, to see you progress and learn,  and to come to know each of you as the outstanding young people that you are. I cannot wait to see  the incredible things that you will do with your future. Work hard. Be confident. Good luck.
