Message from the Head of School. It has been a really busy but very positive week in school. Last night was the Year 9 Parent Information evening which was very well attended. Our focus was on how to ensure that your child maximises their progress in Year 9. We discussed the option pathways, expectations and rigour required to be successful in the new revised 9-1 curriculum. We also discussed some of the concerns surrounding the use of social media and how to help to keep your child safe. All the information shared with parents is on our website under the Parents tab ‘How you can help your child’.
The students have been enjoying the new 3G Astro and thank you to the parents for ensuring that they are all wearing the correct footwear. A copy of the letter that was sent to parents regarding appropriate footwear can be found on the school website. In regards to parents attending Sports Fixtures, we would like to make you aware that parents are more than welcome to attend any event outside of the school day, but during school time, we must stress that due to safeguarding we cannot allow parents to attend these fixtures. Some of our Year 11 students have had the fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into the new English GCSE’s and learn some great study and revision techniques with Mr. Bruff this week. @MrBruff English is an English teacher with over 16 million views and 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. He will be back later in the year to work with more of our students. Mr. Bruff began making online revision videos in January 2011 and to date has achieved over six million views across 212 different nations. His videos are used as part of our English resources and it was brilliant to have him here in school. Well done to our Year 8s who have worked incredibly hard this week, trying their very best in their assessments.
