Dear Parents/Carers We are fast approaching the end of this half term and we know that our families will be very much looking forward to spending some time together during the upcoming half term break. Just a reminder to parents and carers, that the last day of half term for students is Thursday 24th October. Last week we held a series of Open Morning events which we attended by well over 1000 people! On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning we opened our doors to prospective parents and students to see our school in action. I was supported by a fantastic team of Year 8 tour guides that showed our visitors around our school; popping in and out of lessons and answering questions. Every single one of our visitors wanted to tell me how fantastic those students were. I wanted to thank them all publicly for their efforts and we celebrated with a hot chocolate this week! Those students were Crystal Mathieson, Hayden Woodman, Alfie Essl, Aarav Mahajan, Maya Jaunky, Maria Ghounbaz, Eliana Farquharson, Nicolas Gigauri, Archie Donovan and Joe Philips. We also held a Road Safety talk for our Year 7 cohort as part of our Personal Development curriculum. They gave important messages about how to stay safe, especially in our local context, when crossing roads and making their way to and from school. Having external speakers and companies come in to speak to students about such important topics is a massive part of this curriculum. We look forward to welcoming another group - ‘Prison Me, No Way’, next week, to put on a performance for our Year 9 cohort. Our Year 13 students were also very busy this week. In preparation for their upcoming PPEs, they took part in a revision and study skill workshop led by Mr Cocker. During this time, they really got to grips with the structure of their upcoming exam papers and had a chance to revisit our bespoke revision microsite. Please click here to access it. In assemblies last week Mr Anandappa (Assistant Headteacher) launched applications for the House Leader roles in each Year Group - a big part of our 2024-25 Student Voice. This is the first of many opportunities for students across all year groups to represent the student body in roles such as Student Council, Sport and Community reps.
