I trust that everyone is keeping well after what has been a busy half-term. I am grateful for all the continued support for this great school. There are some key messages and then please enjoy the bulletin as it is full of celebration of our lovely students and their achievements. All students return to school at the normal time on Tuesday, 1st November. Term Dates 2022/23. When we return to school, Year 11 will be starting their Pre-Public Exams (PPEs), which is a vital tool in preparing them for their summer exams. Year 13 will be sitting their PPEs later in the half term. For further details of the arrangements for the Year 11 PPEs, please refer to the letter here

School performance data for the Summer 2022 GCSE has now been published on the government website for 2021/22. The government site has not yet been updated for A levels and post 16 (results shown are still 2019) I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that we expect every student to attend every day on time. Students should be on the school site by 8.25am to be ready to go to period 1 at 8.30am when the bell sounds. We encourage every student to achieve 100% attendance. The danger with allowing this to drop any lower is considerably lost learning hours. Working from their google classroom at home, does not replace being in the classroom in front of the specialist teacher. 96% attendance for example, would mean a whole 8 days of absence, which in turn is 60 hours of lost learning time which can never be replaced. For further advice and guidance please refer to the Attendance page on our website here, or contact your child’s Academic Mentor or Year Progress Leader. On 23rd November 2022 we will be hosting our Sixth Form Open Evening from 4.30 until 7.30pm. We welcome all year 11 parents and students to attend to hear about our Level 3 provision. Talks will be held at 5.30pm and 6.45pm in the main hall and we ask that parents book to attend using this form. There will also be the opportunity to speak to our sixth form teachers and see our facilities in the Brook Building. Please note if you are attending the 6.45pm talk, there will not be time to speak to staff afterwards so please make sure you leave time to do this beforehand. We look forward to welcoming you.
