End of Term 3 - February 2023
Signs of Spring Mr Downes, Headteacher Standing at the gate this morning, on what was a beautifully bright and cold day, I reflected on the definite signs of spring in the air. This emerging of new life and bright futures coincides with a new phase here at Rye College. While we still await the final report from the recent OfSTED inspection, we are now entering a new era here at the school. The inspection is a signpost along the way of our journey, acting as an external measure of our progress so far. The work we have been doing over the last few years on the curriculum and our systems is now bearing fruit as we watch, with pride, our students grow and thrive. We are continuing to focus on further refining our curriculum to ensure that it has the maximum impact on the students’ growth and development.
Inside this issue
The new term marks the final run in for our Year 11s as they prepare for their final examinations beginning in May. Year 11 Pre-Public Examinations (PPEs) begin Monday, 27th February and provide an important opportunity for us and the students to identify what is needed to be successful in the final examinations. Year 11 families, please encourage your children to spend time revising and preparing for the mocks (information regarding the PPEs can be found on our exam web pages). Finally, I wish you all a fantastic half term break. We look forward to welcoming students back to Term 4 on Monday 20th February.
