Welcome to the first newsletter of the final half term of this academic year. It has been a busy start to this final eight weeks.
Six of our Year 9 students have been in Aberdeen this week for the finals of the Global Underwater Hub national STEM competition. They did a fantastic job at representing the school and we are very proud of them all. They all landed safely back at Heathrow last night. Thank you to Mr Spence and Miss O'Callaghan for supporting the students.
Our Year 10 Geography students also enjoyed a fieldwork activity in Yaverland this week. They were a credit to themselves and the school.
Year 9 students have been having conversations with some of our senior staff about their KS4 Options preferences. We will be sharing the subjects that they have been allocated to later this term.
Public examinations continue for our Year 11 pupils who are approaching these important exams with maturity and composure. Due to several sets of roadworks across the Island, please ensure that students leave enough time to get to school for their exams and if necessary consider catching the earlier bus.
Next week we look forward to welcoming our Year 7 Parents/Carers into school on Wednesday evening to meet with subject staff. If any Year 7 Parents/Carers have not yet booked appointments then please do through the Arbor App.
I hope you have a lovely weekend

Six of our Year 9 students took part in the final of the Global Underwater Hub STEM Competition yesterday in Aberdeen. To even reach this stage of the competition was an incredible achievement!
On Tuesday 3 June it was the annual Geography field trip to Sandown and Yaverland. This is a compulsory part of the students’ GCSE Geography studies. It is also a great opportunity to experience first hand some of the wonderful Geography this island has to offer.
Here are the lovely U15 cricketers, who put up a brave battle in their first game of the season. It was a close run match. Medina finished on 74 for 6 and The Bay were 81 for 5. It was an amusing match and played in good spirits by both teams. We go again next Tuesday against The Island Free School.
