Thank you to all parents/carers of our Year 7 pupils for joining us in our ‘Settling-in Evening’. Parents/Carers met 1:1 with their child’s tutor to discuss the first 5 weeks of term as part of our transition programme. Whilst the months leading up to the September start are crucial, we recognise that our input during the first half term is equally as important to ensure a smooth transition and settling-in. We welcomed the feedback offered from parents/carers which can be used to inform future planning and development and our work with your children.

Autumn is in the air! We have certainly enjoyed some beautiful sunny mornings but they are definitely now beginning to get a little chillier. We have two weeks left in school ahead of the October half term holiday with pupils breaking up at 1515 on Friday 19 October. Don’t forget, pupils return on Tuesday 30 October 2018; the school is closed to pupils on 29 October 2018 owing to the INSET Day.

Endeavour, Illustrious, Invincible and Warrior – this week we have celebrated the launch of our new House System! Staff and pupils have gathered with fellow house members and house leaders to hear the plans for the year ahead. The pupils have a coloured badge to wear on their blazer to indicate their house membership and have had the opportunity to vote for a charity they would wish to support in the coming year. Staff have already participated in activities to earn points for their house and with a dodgeball event coming up soon for pupils and staff, the competition is well underway! Exciting times ahead.

As we reach the end of our second week of the Autumn Term, the new school year is well underway! Most pupils will have met all of their teachers for the year ahead and will have familiarised themselves with their new classroom routines. Year 10 pupils have started their GCSE/Key Stage 4 courses; in some cases, in subjects that are new to the curriculum this year – Business Studies, Sociology, Economics, Creative iMedia and Dance. Curriculum development is an integral part of our work to ensure that there is breadth and balance and something of interest for everyone.
