The Class of 2026 Presentation Evening

Thursday 26 November 2026

You are invited to ‘The Class of 2026’ Presentation Evening for Year 11 leavers, which will be held on Thursday 26 November 2026 between 18:00 and 20:30. Please arrive between 17:45 – 18:00 to allow everybody to sign in and be seated.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Westbourne Academy for this momentous occasion; please do everything you can to ensure you are able to attend what has proven to be a memorable event. The purpose of the evening is to celebrate your success and to present you with your exam certificates gained in examinations during your time with us. These are important legal documents that you need to keep safe and secure because you will need them for future applications to further education or employment. Please also keep in mind that if you do not collect them and need them further down the line you will have to pay for replacements which cost between £45-£60 per certificate. All certificates are distributed to students without reference to the grades achieved.

Each student is able to invite a maximum of two guests to the presentation evening.  This is due to health and safety restrictions.  This is an invitation only event.

The dress code for this formal celebration event is smart casual clothing; jeans, tracksuits/trainers would be inappropriate on this occasion.  We will also include presentations for the best achievement and progress in subjects and best overall achievement and progress throughout 2025/26.

After the formal part of the evening, as well as collecting your certificates, staff will be pleased to catch up with you to hear how you are getting on since leaving us and there will be photo opportunities and refreshments available.

Collection of Year 11 course work should be arranged by email no later than 20 November with anna.fulcher@attrust.org.uk  Requests received after 20 November will not be ready for collection on the evening of 26 November.

Yours sincerely

Mr R Hawkes

Assistant Principal
