NEWSLETTER Friday 20th December Dear parents and carers, The term has flown by for me and here we are sending out our final newsletter of the term already. We have enjoyed our celebration assemblies today and have had so much to celebrate in our newsletters and there will be much to celebrate, I am sure, for your child and their personal successes so far this academic year too. Thank you for all of your support, as always. Students succeed at school when home, school and child are pulling in the same direction, something which happens for most students, for most of the time, we are pleased to say. There has been much in the newsletters this term which reflects the achievements of our students – GCSE and A Level results day and the excellent news that our progress 8 was in the top 20% of results for Hampshire schools and top for the Isle of Wight is definitely worth us celebrating. That’s quite an achievement and we look to continue to build further on this every year. It’s been good to see so many of you at the various evenings we have put on this term: information evenings, parent evenings, tutor nights, school concerts and our school production in particular. Our parent evenings are a particularly important feature of our school, putting you in the picture as to how you can support progress. We have also had many highlights through our rich activities which go beyond the set curriculum, ranging from our wide range of clubs, to our first ever student pantomime, to workshops with visiting authors and rappers, to charity events, sporting fixtures and our wholly student led hustings and election. A reminder that on Tuesday afternoons next term I am always available to meet with parents with attendance by pre-booked appointments only. With best wishes, Rachel Kitley Click the arrows or swipe to turn pages
