CHESSINGTON SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Dear Parents, carers and all in the Chessington community,
YEAR 10 MOCKS
The Year 10 students finished their mock exams today and they have behaved in an exemplary manner throughout the last 2 weeks Many students have been working hard on their revision following the tutor time sessions delivered by the tutor team. The library has been busier than normal with Year 10’s at break and lunchtime too! I hope that they see the outcome of their hard work when they get their results in May.
YEAR 8 STEM WORKSHOP
Year 8 had a hugely exciting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) session last week delivered by Gatwick Airport. This is a new partnership that Mr Davey has set up and so far we have been very impressed with what they offered. The facilitators made the following comments about our wonderful students:
‘It was a pleasure to work with your students
Their behaviour was excellent, starting off with the high standards at the assembly For the main activity, all the students were engaged throughout and worked well in small groups discussing ideas and working as a team ’
Watch this space for future workshops with Gatwick Airport.
