OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS

Year 9 Tutors

Mrjulianbrammer Head Of Year 9

This term has once again showcased all the things that make BSAK such a special place, whether is has been academics, arts, music or sport; the Year 9 pupils have once again made sure they are at the fore.

On a personal note, here I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed being these wonderful students Head of Year, it was an extremely difficult decision to decide to take a step back from the role and I am delighted that Mr Sonny Zimmer will take up the baton and guide the year group through Key Stage 4 and on to their GCSEs, he is an excellent choice.

I would also like to pay tribute to my excellent tutor team, they have the best interests of their tutees at the front of everything they do and for this I am hugely grateful.

Farida has been a dedicated, thoughtful, and caring year rep. An example to everyone about all that is good in BSAK, she is involved in everything, and I would like to thank you Farida, for your valuable and insightful guidance and support this year.

Mrssarahnoray Head Of Year 10

The term was kickstarted with a very successful week of Work Experience.

The students conducted themselves admirably and were true Ambassadors for the school.

I know that it helped students to think about future career paths which is brilliant motivation as they are now firmly into their examination years.

I know many of us as parents, had very different ideas of the career paths we were aiming for at this age, having an end goal, really made me feel inspired to persevere through challenging times, and I hope they can use this experience in a similar way.

Work

Endof Year Exams

Our Sixth Form Prefects were on hand in assembly before the End of Year exams, with some motivational words of encouragement to help the Year group think about the most effective ways of using their exam leave and I know that students found their advice extremely useful.

Exams and the mental toughness to succeed in them, can be a huge challenge, but it is one that teaches students resilience to overcome challenges in all aspects of their lives in the future. Furthermore, practice of exam procedures will help them to feel familiar with and more confident in the important year ahead and I hope that students have been able to take this from the experience.

Secondary Awards

Congratulations to all award winners this academic year and to these Year 10 students for winning the pastoral awards: Academic Achievement - Omar Tashamneh, Endeavour & Resilience - Ava McPherson and BSAK Citizen - Suval Sewbaran.

Motiongate Trip

It has been a busy term focused predominantly on the students' future pathways and reaching their goals As we approach the end of Year 10, my advice to all students is to spend time over the summer reflecting on their year. Their achievements and their challenges and what they hope to have achieved by the end of the next important year. It is all in their hands and we will be here to support them along the way. Putting the effort in early and being consistent in these efforts in all aspects of school life will ensure that students succeed and have a great year ahead! I am looking forward to seeing everyone refreshed and recharged after the summer. Have a great one!

Mrmichaeledgar Head Of Year 11

Congratulations to all of Year 11 on their achievements over the last five years.

The journey from Year 7 until now has seen many highs and few lows, including a global pandemic that they overcame with such resilience.

I am so proud to have been your Head of Year over this time and would also like to take this opportunity to thank my amazing team of tutors for their hard work and dedication to this cohort. We all wish you success for the future.
