Assistant Head Welcome

WELCOME FROM THE

ASSISTANT HEAD

Dear Parents,

As students enter this last year of Key Stage 3, they will be expected to take greater responsibility for their own learning. The Year 9 curriculum is designed to provide opportunities for students to experience the broader world in a more independent manner and develop a passion for life and learning. A key focus for students this year is making positive choices for their future and our Year 9 pastoral team is here to fully support them through the GCSE options process. It is vital students have control over these choices and as such they must make the most of every opportunity they are presented with. It is a hugely exciting time in students’ lives, as they develop into young adults ready to take their place in society.

We are strongly committed to working in meaningful and positive partnership with parents to support the best possible education for all our students and I very much look forward to joining you and your child on this next leg of their learning journey.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Year 9 at BSAK.

Students undergo many transitions as they journey through our School; in particular the transition into Year 9 presents an ideal opportunity to push educational boundaries and continue to develop interests and hobbies beyond the classroom.

Miss Nichola Cooper
