We have reached the end of another term! Parents and carers will be in receipt of the end of term letter from Mr Hudson (Headteacher) which reflects on the last 12 weeks and shares key messages as we plan for the new term ahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We wish all members of the Cams Hill School community a restful and enjoyable Easter break and we look forward to welcoming pupils back to school on Monday 15 April 2024.<\/p>\n

Nurture Group<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Nurture Group started in September with seven Year 7 pupils.\u00a0 The Nexus staff have provided sessions on Creative Wellbeing, Forest School, Cooking, Maths, Literacy, PE, Gaming and Social and Emotional Communication Skills.\u00a0 Each session has included a snack of toast and jam around the kitchen table and over the two terms we have devoured 35 loaves of bread and 10 jars of jam!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Wednesday we finished our last Nurture session with a party to celebrate.\u00a0 The pupils have left Nexus today having made new friends, feeling more confident and proud of themselves.<\/p>\n

Year 10 Work Experience<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week Year 10 pupils experienced the working world and have embarked on a variety of placements organised by themselves. These have included working within the charity sector, construction, childcare and retail. We are hopeful that this experience has given pupils the opportunity to experience a flavour of what life post education might entail and gain some valuable insights and skills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pupils who have remained on site with us have been busy following a comprehensive programme facilitated by teaching staff. They have learned to balance the books and work with the income you have, respond to a marketing brief to design a product and they have had the chance to explore different job adverts to prioritise which values are important to them. They have also experienced input from a variety of external speakers from the NHS, Mildren and the University of Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We would like to take this opportunity to thank parents and carers for the planning, facilitation and guidance of these Work Experience Placements \u2013 we know that without the \u2018behind the scenes\u2019 input many of the experiences for pupils this week would not have been possible.<\/p>\n

Careers Spotlight – Volunteering<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 10 pupils who stayed in school this week had a lesson which covered \u201cHow to write a CV\u201d.\u00a0 They discussed the barrier of having minimal or no work experience to include on their CV. Volunteering can be a valuable and enriching opportunity for many young people and can help build real life experiences.\u00a0 Whilst some options are only 18+, many now offer youth volunteering programmes for 16 and 17-year-olds. Some useful links for more information are:<\/p>\n

MathsWatch and Educake<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are two online resources that we expect pupils to be accessing routinely with homework set by teachers and independently to support their progress in Maths, Science and other subjects. We ask parents to check in with their child to see whether they are accessing these resources routinely and to encourage best use of them.<\/p>\n

Staying Mentally Healthy During Exam Time (Young Minds)<\/h2>\n

As we head towards the main exam time it’s worth revisiting how we can support young people at what can be a stressful time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Young Minds have a series of support pages aimed to help with exam stress and anxiety. Their advice is available to help school staff, parents and carers and, of course, young people themselves. You can find this helpful advice at the links below:<\/p>\n
