Dear Parents and Carers
Welcome to a round up of this week and a look ahead to the next
This week
- Awards Evening. Thank you to everyone who attended our Awards and Achievment Evening this week. It was great to be able to celebrate with pupils and parents / carers. There are pictures on our social media feeds and we will process individual pictures of pupils before the end of term. Next year’s plans are already looking good and we will send a save the date soon.
- Year 10 Mocks. Feedback from the invigilators has been very positive; well done, Year 10. I know that exams can feel overwhelming for some pupils so it’s important that everyone follows all of the JCQ guidance for the mocks; this is what will be in place for the Year 11 mocks and the final GCSEs
- Boleh Sailing. Pupils in Year 10 had fantastic weather for a couple of days sailing on the 40ft Boleh Yacht, crafted by Malay shipwrights after World War 2
- Windsurfing. Thank you Miss Dewey for taking our Active Club to the next session at the OTC. Well done to everyone involved!
- Paris Visit. This is going really well at the moment. I have in constant communication with staff running this visit and although I understand that the recent unrest in parts of France may be a cause for concern, our visit is going ahead unaffected. Pupils are having a great time and will be at EuroDisney tomorrow.
