We are delighted to announce that we will have a new catering provider from September 2019.

Following a tough competition with other catering companies, Mellors were success in their bid to be our provider.

We are looking forward to developing a long term partnership with them as we look to improve the quality and service for our students.  A new menu and branding awaits our students when they return from the summer holidays!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Starting today, Mrs C Williams our careers adviser will be conducting individual guidance interviews with all of Year 8, in advance of their GCSE options. These will normally take place on Mondays and Wednesdays over the course of this term.

Each child will have different needs and concerns, but it is an opportunity for them to

• understand the difference between partial and impartial advice
• make the link between GCSEs and future pathways and opportunities
• understand the importance of good grades to keeping future options open
• correct misconceptions related to subjects and careers
• get a reality check regarding various careers
• receive or be directed to resources and further information
• begin to learn how to take control of their career development.

If you have any questions or queries about this process then please do get in touch with either Miss L Williams or our Careers Adviser Mrs C Williams.

This week Year 7 and Year 8 have had their ‘Mission’ for this half term launched.

Year 8 pupils are now making a TV documentary news report about a natural disaster showing casing their Geography knowledge.

Year 7 pupils are redrafting three of their pieces of work from their theme subjects and will be making a presentation to parents about how they have redrafted their work and what this has taught them about their learning skills.

Please see the attached presentations for more information about each mission.

Year 7 Who are we Mission Launch

Year 8 May The Force Be With You Mission Launch

On the 18th October parents experienced life back in the classroom as we hosted GCSE lessons to help students with revision.

The English, Maths and Science sessions were very well attended and it was great that so many of our students came too.

Good luck with revision Y11 and thank you to our amazing parents .

This morning, our Y11 Head Boy and Girl, Mike and Eve, lead an assembly about social media and the fact that so many people judge themselves based on social media ‘likes.’ This is an initiative that our school Governors were keen for us to work on with pupils. All pupils will hear this assembly this week and will then take part in an enrichment session on Friday morning to develop their thinking on the issue further.

On the 20th September we held our fantastic annual Year 11 Conference for GCSE students and their parents. It was extremely well attended and parents received lots of valuable information about how to support their child with successful revision.

After the talks in the hall from the Head, Deputy and Assistant Headteacher, who were joined by some of our ex pupils, students were given an awesome ‘revision goody bag’ including a personalised revision guide, well-being guide for both parents and students and also sample revision timetables. Notwithstanding some little treats to get them through! Our wonderful teachers then met them in the bustling marketplace and provided revision packs in all subjects to fill the bag.

We encourage all Year 11 to begin their revision as soon as possible in preparation for their mock exams on 3^rd December. Year 11 will also be having assessments in the week beginning 1^st October.

We wish all Year 11s the best of luck as they start their revision and will be asking some to tell us about how it’s going.. “#revisionnews, watch this space!
