"I am thrilled to share that our Year 8 students have been working diligently in their Modern Foreign Languages classes this term, consistently earning praise from their teachers during assemblies.  Their dedication and enthusiasm are truly commendable!

As we look ahead to Year 9, I strongly encourage our students to keep up the fantastic work.  The MFL team has been incredibly impressed with their progress and commitment this term.

Stay tuned for reward events that will celebrate the achievements of our selected students who have been excelling in all subjects this term. "

Y11 Prom is on the Wednesday 26 June 2024 at The Bristol Hotel from 7.00pm -12.00pm.  We have a Prom Shop available to all students who may be struggling to find that perfect dress or suit.  All items have been donated by members of staff and a boutique. Look out for an email from Miss Wellington to let students know when they can attend. 

Next week is Punc(tuality) Week.  If students are late to lessons, their teacher will send them to Charnwood Reception to see a member of the Post 16 team to collect a late slip; if this happens multiple times students will be placed on a stage one contract.

The Year 12 Futures Conference will be running on Wednesday 3 July, Thursday 4 July and Friday 12 July.  This is an opportunity for our young people to start thinking about their P18 plans.  More information will be shared by Ms Beaver during Assembly on Wednesday.

We have launched Sparx Reader for KS3.  Students are set a weekly homework to gain 300 Sparx Reader Points (roughly 30 mins of careful reading).  The platform tailors reading to each student to build crucial academic reading skills.  A range of interesting texts are available for students to select.  Reading can be completed on devices with internet access.  All are expected to complete this homework in line with the school's homework policy and to support their progress in reading.

This week (Tuesday 11 June to Thursday 13 June 2024) students studying GCSE Geography were in Burnham-On-Sea to complete the field work element of their Paper 3: Geographical Applications exam.   This involved an assessment of the sea defences down on Burnham's coastline and some work in the town, assessing the extent to which the town is reliant on tourism.  Not every day was as we'd hoped in terms of weather, with students and staff having to put up with both the wet and the cold (in June!) down in North Somerset.  Despite this, the students there represented themselves and the school really well making for three work filled but really enjoyable trips.  A massive thank you to all the students who attended and made those days so enjoyable, the staff who made the days run as they should and the parents for their part in the organisation!

The Steel Pans Summer concert takes place on Wednesday 3 July 2024.  Doors open at 6.00pm and the concert starts at 6:30pm. 

We have had a fantastic week of assemblies this week introducing our new group of wonderful House Prefects and their respective roles within the House system.  We have a whole host of exciting charity events planned for Term 6, including an Art auction, a Teacher vs. Student Badminton competition, Table Tennis competition and an inter-House coin trail. 

A massive well done to everyone who received awards for their hard work also!

Best wishes

Miss S Madge, Miss C Forbes, Mr C Burfield and Mr Z Vohra
